Hello?

Right guys, this is it! I'm finally starting my own food blog! I've been putting this off for quite a long time, and made excuses that I was too busy, or didn't have enough to write about, but what the hell...what's the worst that can happen?

I'm an undergraduate student at the moment, studying in the south-west of England, and next year I'll be going on to do a Masters. I've found that this year (now I'm living with my boyfriend!) I’m cooking from scratch for the both of us pretty much every night, as well as baking my own bread and the (occasional) cake. I’ve also become a member of Slow Food on Campus this year, so I’ve become a lot more aware of food-related issues, and where it comes from. Don’t get me wrong, I go to the supermarket just like everyone else, I neither have the time nor the money to buy my food from independent shops all of the time, but now I’m just making more informed decisions.

Apart from one summer of waitressing (!), I have absolutely no experience in the food industry, and, unfortunately, still being in education, I’m on a bit of a tight budget. Basically, don’t expect anything particularly complicated or sophisticated from me for the moment, but instead hopefully I’ll be able to show you some quick and interesting recipes, and maybe even give you some new ideas. I want you all to be as enthusiastic about food as I am, and I want there to be something here for everyone, from the beginner who’s never cooked anything before, to the expert who has hundreds of recipes under their belt.

That’s it in a nutshell. I’ll be back sometime this week with my first ‘proper’ post (I‘m going to bake cookies right now!), and hopefully a better idea of what I’m doing. In the mean time feel free to comment and let me know what you'd like to see on here in the coming weeks.

Bye for now!
