Geologist, Wife, MOT (Mom-to-three) and food blogger

For the first 9 years of my life I hated food and loved sugar till Wimpy (British Fast Food chain) changed my life! These days, I'm grown up, have junked junk food and spend my days and nights on a quest - to find and share the sweet, sweet nectar that's food! Dreaming, cooking, eating and writing...about it on my blog! Why do I love food so? It is forgiving. Make a recipe. Have it go bad....but wake up tomorrow and you can have another go at succeeding! Only with food!
