About me
Just love cooking full stop. We have two sons - one of whom has special dietary needs - so we tend to look a lot at what goes into stuff- preferring to make our own dishes and treats. I'd rather our boys have a full on treat once in a while than pre-packed processed crap. Also like motorcycling and have travelled extensively throughout Europe - prefer camping and camp cooking (best thing I ever bought was a small backpackers pressure cooker from Canada - it can be used for frying, open steaming and of course pressure cooking). Love Indian curries and Italian meals. O'h and good cuts of beef. Did I mention fish- like that too. Baking bread!!!! nearest thing to religion (not that I am) and sex in one go!!!!!! I teach our kids - if you can make a really good meal out of practically nothing and sit and enjoy it anywhere - then you can also enjoy eating in the finest of restaurants. Favourite chefs: Saint Delia (still got my original book from almost 30 years ago- when I could burn water!) Hairy Bikers - bless 'em. Gary Rhodes, Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver- he has a tremendous amount of fun with his food. Before life came and smacked me in the face I used to train and punish myself by running. I existed on noodles and god forbid I should have a drink of beer. Now I'm a more rounded individual - no literally!
