My story: for several years I had a very bad relationship towards food. I became underweight, looked like a stick and put a burden on my health. In around a year all of this has changed, with my boyfriend's love of good food and some personal determination. I still like to live healthily, but I have learnt to enjoy food. Cooking has turned into a hobby - my adult version of arts and crafts, and I have begun to relish the opportunity to try new things, alter recipes and not feel so guilty about eating so many cookies...
Having recently moved into a lovely little apartment, I decided it was time to start blogging in celebration of our new kitchen being slug-free (yes, our previous student house came with resident slugs)! I began taking photographs of the meals we made some time ago, making the transition from a 'cooking' album on Facebook to a more explanatory blog. (Pictured above is a book my boyfriend made me filled with some of our favourite recipes, all handwritten.)
Food can bring people together and give you a sense of accomplishment. It also doesn't have to cost a fortune. Here, you will find healthy dinners made on a budget and not-so-healthy deserts cooked with the most basic kitchenware. I am also not the best with measurements - sometimes I forget to write down that which I have used, and if I am following another recipe I always alter the amount of each ingredient I add, but most of the time this doesn't matter. I believe that measurements should primarily be based on individual tastes and so feel free to make changes when desired or if you notice something I have left out.
Now let's get cooking...
