Introduction	Marie McQuade is food writer, cafe owner and cook based in Scotland. In a past life, she has worked as a music journalist, tv producer and researcher. These days, she spends her time playing with her children, cooking in the Green Apple Cafe and when there is time, writing. A city girl lost in the country she is embracing all that rural living has to offer, while making a quick dash into the city anytime possible to hit the cheese stores, delis and artisanal bread shops! 'I love to cook. My passion is food. I like to experiment with new ideas and flavours but what I love most is to authentically recreate food I have eaten on my travels. I want to read and learn about the history of a dish, to track its development through families, through regions and through countries. That said I love to deviate from this, to create meals I can make from the storecupboard, to make food my children will enjoy and to try recipes I find reading websites and blogs from around the world.
