I was never really interested in food growing up. I don’t have amazing back stories about growing up in the kitchen sitting by the oven with my grandmother. Sure, I loved eating, but I was never interested in the process behind it.

I was thrown at the deep end, shall I say. Moving out of my parents’ home, in a shared house with strangers, in a foreign country with food and resources I was not familiar with. It was a process with lots of mistakes and experimentation, where not forgetting to add pepper was a triumph, but the creativity that came from planning meals and creating food kept me going back for more. The trials and errors became exhilarating.

Cooking and planning meals evolved into a huge part of my day, driven by an eagerness of learning new techniques but also by not falling into the rut of purchasing the same ingredients and eating the same meals over and over.

This blog is for those who are constantly looking for new flavours, techniques and participate in the candid trial and errors of testing recipes.
