A well known bumper sticker begins...I'd rather be... mine would read, "I'd rather be cooking". Not the day to day family meals that suck the fun, creativity and enjoyment out of cooking but the creations that are sometimes days or weeks in the planning and are savoured rather than consumed (or inhaled in the case of some members of the family).
My grandmothers and mother all had hand written recipe books, lovingly added to over the years and with splatters of food from sitting on the bench while the 'cooking action' happened.
It occurred to me that I will not have one of these treasured collections of both recipes and in fact family histories to pass on, so I started working on this blog.
It is both a way of collecting and organising recipes and memories for today and for the future.
I use it as a reference and a way to record special experiences and hope that in the years to come it will be used by my family, friends, and anyone else who is interested.
