Welcome to my pantry
Just a quick intro to what this space will be. Recipe and restaurant reviews, the best bang for your buck point wise, and a little kitchen chaos.
I love cooking and baking, and I'm constantly looking for new and inventive ways to jazz up the food I eat, and to put a healthy spin on fatty favourites.
When I'm done in my kitchen, it looks as though a bomb has been detonated. Flour on the ceiling, oil on the flour, and a mountain of teetering dishes hovering in the sink. I work best in a mess, I feel I can be more creative that way.
So I look forward to sharing some favourites with you, hearing your feedback, and taking suggestions.
Cheers!
