I love to make up any meal with random items in the cupboard or fridge. My entire extended family are obsessed with food and so I think its only natural that I should be the same. I'm mostly vegetarian and love anything spicy, so I try to be as creative as possible. I'm a bit of a lazy cook - sometimes following recipes is a bit of a challenge for me and I can't resist adding in a pinch extra of this or that. I thought I would try my hand at documenting some of my concoctions to see if there is any method to my madness. Happy cooking!
