Cooking is what I do, what I think about and largely what I dream about… If you do not count beer of course, which as far as I am concerned is a food group! Most of my recipes here are complete meals.
I subscribe to no particular ideology when it comes to eating other than it should taste great and whatever needs to happen to make great food happens!
Some of my recipes are simple, some of my recipes are complicated, likewise, some of my meals are light and ‘healthy’ and others are downright naughty. All of them, however, get my wifes seal of approval and are extremely tasty!
