Welcome!

An artisan is someone who is highly skilled and specialises in high quality, small volume production. I am not yet an artisan but I love food and am extremely passionate about cooking and encouraging people like you to do the same. I am entirely self taught from family, TV and many, many cookery books. I have spent years trialling recipes and getting them wrong and I finally know what works (although not for everything, of course). I found that no one told me what to do or what went wrong when things didn't turn out well and a lot of the recipes are overcomplicated when easy shortcuts can be taken for the same result.

My blog will feature high quality food and the trialling and reviewing of recipes along with some of my own.  I will also propose for you some exciting and varied and menu ideas. From time to time there will be restaurant reviews but only when it is relevant e.g. when I am trying to recreate one of the dishes. The whole idea of this blog is to get people like you trying new dishes and if there are ever any queries on anything I write, please do get in touch no matter how small the question seems. Something is only easy if you know the answer.

My blog is going to lend a hand to aspiring cooks of all levels of skill and experience.  If you are a person with very little cooking ability you will be able to carry out the featured recipes but equally for those of you who are enthusiasts there will be recipes and menus to challenge and inspire you. However, you do not need to cook and struggle along on your own, I will be on hand to advise you.

Happy Cooking!
