I love food and I love cooking!
I often cook without following recipes but decided I wanted to improve my invention skills. To do this I felt I needed to go back to basics and learn the best way to cook everything, what flavour combinations work and how to change the taste of dishes. I felt once I had this under my belt I could start to experiment with different food combinations.
I unashamedly love a bit of research and a spreadsheet! I think it’s the scientist in me. I decided I would research the different ways to cook something, try them all and then decide which was the best way. I started to keep a spreadsheet of my findings and cooking but was chatting to a friend about this one day and she suggested writing a blog, so here we are!
The idea of the blog posts initially is just how to cook things basically with the correct techniques. Then there will be an exploration of flavour combinations and this should then give me the building blocks for starting to experiment with and write my own recipes.
