about me

Born in Scotland, brought up travelling, settled in RSA and brought up my family here, an IT son and 2 horsey daughters!
Assorted animals, currently two dogs, a cat, a Bearded dragon, two corn snakes, multiple fish, and two Bengal finches. Oh, and a horse :D
Work fulltime; in my spare time (if I'm not running around with youngsters) love to cook, often use the weekends to cook for the week. Love to entertain. my husband is a sports fanatic, enjoys helping in the kitchen and absolutely loves to eat the results!! I was a late starter, in my 30's when I started cooking, so I have brought my children up to Cook from an early age! And they all cook very well :D
Also love to read, garden, browse fleamarkets, esp. antique markets, love to sit in the sun with a cappucino and a good book! Want to retire to the coast.....one day.....

Favorite Foods:

I'm vegetarian, but I cook anything and everything, family favourites for weekdays are pasta of all description, but especially carbonara, risotto, using whatever I have to hand, soups, esp. pumpkin or potato and leek, my husband is crazy about Thai Curried fish, so I try to make it quite often...at weekends, I experiment, and I bake for the family lunchboxes.
I really enjoy the Zaar tag games, and regularly experiment with new dishes, sometimes DH says 'can we just eat our OWN food for a while ':lol:



personal favourites, pasta, blue cheese, spinach, preferably all three in the same dish. Favourite pizza, Death by Cheese....
