A little about me - I am 29, I work as a teacher, I live with 3 friends, not with Him and I love to cook. Let's be clear, I don't always have a lot of success, but I enjoy myself nevertheless! I started off baking cakes and now seem to cook whenever I have a chance (which isn't nearly so often as I would like). I once cooked a 3 course meal for 8 people which included a vegan and a coeliac, which meant a lot of separate meals- although my crowning glory was 18 months ago when I made a cake in the shape of his Porsche for His 29th birthday!
He and I have been together for over 2 years and have discovered that we both have a passion for food. We often cook for each other and love to find new meals to make - although I seem to have a high success rate for particularly unhealthy meals :/
We also go out for dinner roughly once a week - either together or separately, and we always have an opinion about the food we eat. I think we can be a bit snobby, but we just like 'good' food - recently we visited my sister who was very excited about visiting the local Harvester for dinner as the food there was so good and it was a special dinner.....now I'll eat in a Harvester if I have to and the food isn't terrible, but I certainly wouldn't go there as a special treat - it amazes me that to some people places like the Harvester are a luxury, whereas to me they would be slumming it.....the conclusion I drew from this is that somehow I have become rather snooty in my eating habits, or rather I have come to expect a certain quality to my meals. Perhaps this has come from living in London for nearly 5 years, or perhaps it's come from discovering the wonderful food that can be made at home and having a high expectations of food made elsewhere? Who knows! Anyway, in this blog I will attempt to review some of the places we eat out, some of the recipes we try at home AND occasionally the hotels we stay at on the rare occasions I get out of London.
