Writing a blog has been very free-ing and quite exciting. Documenting the process of my food, be it a simple pizza or a three course dinner, is very pleasurable. I like that it helps people find their inner chef....

I set up my sweetest things, a children’s cookery school, because my nephews and nieces really wanted to be a part of what I was doing. With their help, I learned how to coax children into eating things they usually wouldn’t, and found if they made everything themselves they would have no problem eating it. Children need to be more proactive in the kitchen and get away from television and computer games. It is really important that they get to know what effort is out into their food, as well as learning how to enjoy it.
