I am not a professional chef or baker, nor am I a food
photographer. But I have been cooking and baking a lot lately. Mostly thanks to
Pinterest and the never ending supply of pretty food pictures it offers me. Fancying
myself an amateur iPhone photographer of food now (emphasis on amateur), I’ve
also been subjecting my Instagram followers to blurry photos of my steaming accomplishments.
While I’ve had many a #recipefail, most of it ends up quite
tasty – a far cry from fish fingers and custard. Or “stuff with bits in it.” Since I am by
profession a writer, and by hobby a cook, I finally calculated happy primes and
realized the obvious next step in the sequence was to blog about cooking.
Although I am clearly a Doctor Who fan (for those of you who
get the sprinkling of references) this is not a Doctor Who Food Blog or even a blog
about British (or Scottish) cuisine. Instead, I have been focusing my recipes on
1) what I like to eat, and 2) what recipes catch my eye, and 3) what is available
in my yard and garden, with more than just a little help from my farmer’s
market and local grocery stores.
Most of what I try to make is at least semi-healthy. In my
opinion, beans aren’t actually bad and apples aren’t rubbish. But you won’t
find a recipe for cauliflower mashed potatoes here and I do think that
chocolate has restorative powers. If you have a question about a recipe, or
would like to see me try a recipe and #failorsucceed (Pinterest is still my nemesis),
please feel free to post a comment. I love trying new
recipes, I love writing, and I hope that you enjoy this food (and garden) blog.
I think it’s going to be fantastic!
