 I have been a keen cook for many years , I first started to take an intense interest in cooking when I realized my mum could'nt cook ."Sorry Mum! she really didnt cook the things I wanted to eat."

I must have been about eight when I would slope off to the kitchen, saucepans out to see just what I could put together ,the first thing I ever done was ......wait for it .

Baked beans on toast cooked with a knob of butter and chilli powder  ,I thought it was fantastic & made a nice change from plain old baked beans , it  really started from there and my obsession for different types of food grew along with the stacks of cookery books .

Well back to mum,  I'm happy to say that she's a good cook now & does a mean curry.  For me, cooking is one of my favourite past times, a hobby that I use to unwind.  Nothing like finishing work ,getting home & preparing a good meal whilst sipping a glass of  red wine and listening to some good music.  But remember drink in moderation whilst cooking ,as it can seriously damage the end result.

Been there,done it,got the t-shirt..

Inviting friends around to eat is a real buzz for me ,watching there faces and the sound of mmmm's of enjoyment from them is priceless. Over the years they have kept on at me to open a resturant , but I suppose if it became something that I had to do to earn a living ,maybe it would'nt then be so enjoyable,who knows.
