Hello and Welcome!

I've never blogged before, so this is all rather nerve-wracking, what with the potential that people are going to be reading this!

I've heard that men think about sex every 7 seconds, I can't judge this for myself being a girl, but what I do know is that 7 seconds is about the frequency that I think about food, cooking, baking, mixing, whizzing and any other food related adjective. In short, I am food obsessed. My poor Mr B is my main guinea pig/tester - so far he has remained alive and well, and indeed looks much better nourished than when I first met him a couple of years ago, so I must be doing something right...

Because it is also Mr B who has to put up with all my thoughts about what to cook next, how to improve things and general cooking waffle, I thought I would turn my attention to the great inter-web and try waffling at some other people to. Having just completed a Masters in Literature and also doing lots of photography, I thought there could be no better way of combining writing, photos and food than on a blog (well, apart from putting together a cookbook!)

One final thing before I bore you all to tears, this will be a departure for me too - I am not used to weighing, measuring and being overly accurate when I cook - I tend to go on look and feel. But written recipes don't work like that, so for you, I will be dusting off the scales and digging out the measuring spoons to make sure what I write works in your kitchen!
