This year I am embarking on a
Flickr group 365 project. This involves take a photo a day of various items, situations, people & place I come across in my day to day life. Since I started I have taken quite a few home baking & cookery shots. My husband thought it would be a great idea to share my recipes and food photography with others, so he suggested that I set up a blog. Now I have always loved cooking and to some extent baking, but I have really got into to it lately!!!
As a child my Mum used to bake loads of cakes, biscuits & sugary goodness! One of my earliest memories was making homemade toffee, it was so hard it nearly took your teeth out, in fact I lost a wobbly tooth while eating it! For me it is one of my best childhood memories, the smell of baking, helping to stir & beat cake mixtures and finally getting to lick the bowl clean!
In my late teens I moved to Italy for about 6 years, and I learned how to cook Italian, which has stood me in good stead all these years. I have a great love of Italian food, in fact I like most world cuisine and like to try anything different, within reason!
Now I live in Scotland and for most of the year it can be cold, gloomy and more than a little bit wet! So I like to cook good, hearty, warm rustic fayre for the family. The boys (all three of them) love all the biscuits and cakes I bake for them, not to mention the warm stodge puddings after dinner.
