When you have your next meal, take a moment to study it. It tells a little more about you than you might realize. Whether its served to you or if you prepared it yourself, it is a reflection of how you are feeling, the type of day you have had or even who you are. So who are you? Are you ready made, mass produced, no time to waste, hurry up, slow cooked, spicy, carefully prepared, delicately flavoured?
Nothing could be more comforting (and we all need comforting!) than good food, even better if its a dish prepared the way your mom used to do it and better still if you enjoy it in the company of family or good friends. I know who I am, my food tells my stories and I hope to share them with you here.
