Thanks for stopping by.
I have been cooking for over 45years.
I started this blog as a food journal back in 2008. I was getting requests from friends to share my recipes so I then made this my virtual cookbook.
Since then I update it each year with the new recipes I have created and the photos of the dishes I make, which are my own.
New recipe posts are added daily so please drop by and see what’s new.
My old food photos of the past few years are on my pinterest board so click the link on the home page it will take you there.
My past careers include :
Medical Secretary 1986-1990
Worked in a Call Centre 1990-1991.
Then got married and had a family.
I graduated Commercial Catering Course in 1996.
I also got my certificate in Commercial Floristry in 1997.
2000-2009 voluntary leader for First Place For Health Program in both local and online groups and was keynote speaker and caterer for leader retreats here in Australia. 2000-2025 active member in online groups.
2016 I rejoined paid workforce but had to resign 6 months later due to chronic health issues which i still manage today.
My health issues totally changed my outlook on food and the choices I make daily and what I put into my body. Food can heal you or it can destroy you.
I no longer do catering but still enjoy being creative in the kitchen with my own meals. I no longer cook like my training days. I have become lazy cooking for 1.
I do love bringing out my creative side through my plating. I’m still learning how to do it properly.
I am a foodie at heart.
I hope you enjoy my recipes.
Come back soon.
