| Interests | I have cooked forever. My mother taught me when I was very young and then I went on to learn through books and watching friends and family. I worked as a chef for 10 years in country hotels, fine dining restaurants, mediterranean villas and East end pubs. However, I had enough of working in windowless, smelly holes at very antisocial times, so I have changed career and am studying to be a human rights lawyer and working with victims of racial harassment. My head is filled with recipes from my childhood, from places I have worked, from eating out, from food with friends and from my travels. I know that as I study some of these memories will be displaced and these memoirs are a way of preserving them and sharing them with anyone who's interested. I will not write a food blog in the traditional sense as my stories and recipes will come from my memories rather than a diary of present day experiences, but hopefully I can remember the recipes accurately enough for them to be recreated. I have never been very good at taking photos and as most of the images are to come from my memory I figured that it would be better to draw them. I am no professional but I do love to draw so I hope this blog will get me into the habit of doing art for fun again! |
