Daydream

about me

I was raised in a family that loves to travel, meet people from other countries, and taste new foods. We are quite 'international' - my brother's wife is Indian, my sister's husband is Swiss and my DS's GF is of Swedish origin. My little dogs are of German origin - miniature dachshunds - and my DH is an NZer.

Presently my favourite cookbook is Quick and Easy Indian Cooking by Madhur Jaffrey, but that is liable to change as I often raid my library for new and interesting cookbooks.

Favorite Foods:

My favourite foods are Asian (particularly Indian, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Thai), Mediterranean, Mexican, and anything spicy. Both my husband and I enjoy cooking, although whereas I love to try new dishes, he prefers to cook those which are 'tried and true'. I love preparing new dishes that involve roasting and grinding lots of exotic spices and inhaling the aromas.

I dislike any food that is processed, packaged and tastes nothing like the real thing. I don't use canned soups when I cook (although I make an exception for canned tomato soup!)and I am not particularly fond of blue cheese, goat's cheese or cherry tomatoes (I hate that explosion when taking a bite.) I draw the line at tripe and brains
