about me

I'm a married 23 year old, no kids just yet I've been married for just over 2 years and I fear that the only thing my Mother-in-law likes about me is the fact that I can cook!
I was taught to cook by my Dad who raised my sister and I by himself. Apart from the usual meat and 3 veg he made an array of European dishes based on his German heritage. He would continually learn new recipes and was a genius at turning left overs into another masterpiece. I started cooking dinner for my family early, from about 7 and natural progression and boredom in cooking the standard 'mashed potatoes' saw me move quickly to more challenging recipes. When I left home I was on a limited budget but still managed to find money for cooking magazines and unusual and unique ingredients.
My most favourite cook book is the Central Cookery Book by A C Irvine. I have heart warming memories of this book from when I was a young girl. I learnt how to bake many biscuits, cakes and most importantly pikelets from this book.

Favorite Foods:

My favourite things to cook are main dishes. I do make sweet things but prefer experimenting with multicultural cooking. I am yet to perfect a curry but continually try. I love getting new recipes from family and friends and I'm lucky to work with a fantastic source of new things to try. I keep trying to get my Dad's super secret recipes for ultra cheesy Lasagna and him Pumpkin Soup.
