I’ve always had a passion for cooking. When I was a little girl I loved to cook and enjoyed learning about all sort of
cuisines. Today, I am still in the kitchen and every chance I get, I cook. Some days it isn’t even fancy or a hard
recipe. Some days it’s a classic, but something that I’ve created. Cooking is my time to be me. It’s
the “art form” I pride myself at being good at and I don’t have to try (unlike drawing…not so good at that!). Like a child getting a new
toy, I get excited when I discover new foods and ingredients. My mind feels “at home” when it’s in the process of
creating in the kitchen. It’s fun getting the ingredients, piling them all on the counter, then chopping, stirring,
adding a pinch of this and a splash of that. Then I have to wait for everything to cook. Finally the reward of my
creativity is taken out of the oven and placed on a plate. The creative work I’ve done is fully realized when I can share my work with others.
Cooking is pure joy and fun for me. I cook as a way to ground myself, to think clearly and to relax
for a change. I enjoy researching ingredients I’ve never heard of before, what pairs best with this spice or that vegetable. When
someone strikes up a conversation with me about cooking, I could go on for hours, so be prepared! Through cuts, burns,
failed recipes, forgotten ingredients, I still find joy in the art of cooking. Losing this passion
would surely be like
losing myself.
🍽️ My recipes
I like to share recipes that are easy to follow and require as few ingredients as possible.
Ideally, you’ll have most of
the ingredients in your cupboard already.
I wanted to cover everything for everyone in this book, so there are sixteen chapters for you to explore. You’ll
find dishes inspired by my travels to the likes of Miami, Greece and France, traditional Sunday roast ideas, indulgent
sweet treats and much, much more. I’ve even thrown in a proper Scouse favourite .
I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. To all my lovely followers who inspired me to do
it, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
