Ahem...

Howdy.

Hi.

Hello.

It’s mighty nice to meet you. Welcome to my place. I’ve been writing here and there, posting reviews in random places and at the urging of many friends I decided to look around and find a single space.

The rent is awfully cheap here, and I think you’re more than worth it. Really. You’re pretty darn fantastic. All five of you! Okay maybe there’s more of you reading this or painfully less, but either way I am committing to this space to share my recipes, restaurant reviews, stories, my culinary trials and tribulations, and when the mood strikes me- my humour. I’m funny. Sometimes. Swear. Cross my knives and hope to fly.

If you read humour and thought it was a spelling error, you’ll be relieved to know its not and hopefully pleased to learn that I’m currently living and working in Canada. That doesn’t mean you won’t see some international flavours here. (Yes, here we go again…flavour, not flavor, really no pun intended) I love to cook many different cuisines and am lucky enough to travel quite frequently.

So what makes me any kind of authority on cooking you ask? I love great food, I’m eagerly finishing a culinary diploma part time, I’ve dabbled in catering over the years, and I come from a very mixed, very crazy family most of which love to cook. And for some reason I get endless phone calls and emails from people I know asking for my advice on everything from love, to cooking a turkey, to where to take their future in laws for dinner. Love advice I’m not so great at. Roasting a succulent bird to perfection- BINGO.

I’ve been in the midst of a transformation for a long time and I hope this blog will become a place that will ground me and push me to the next level. Simply put- I don’t currently have a career in food and I want to. So much so that I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get there. Well almost.

Alas, here goes. Hold on to your cutlery. You’re in for a lip smacking ride. And I ain’t talking smooching here people!
