A bit about me

A self-confessed foodie and a bit of a kitchen control freak, I can often be found flagging pages of my recipe books with colour coded post-its. I’m nitpicky about little things, I like my cutlery and spice jars to match which might make you think that I’m super neat – unfortunately, that’s not the case.

I’m an unashamedly messy cook. I tell myself it’s because I need a bigger kitchen but really, I know I’m just messy. Oh well, at least I’m a decent cook. Can’t win ‘em all right?

Which brings me to why my food is always photographed on the same plate or in the same bowl – I have no other bowls and also, my kitchen is usually a disaster zone by the time I’ve finished cooking.

I don’t really style food, not because I don’t want to but because I only have one style of plate, bowl and saucer. When I get a bigger kitchen though…

Oh, and if you have any questions, post them and I’ll try to answer you within 24 hours.
