• About

    Qin Xie at Alaverdi Monastery in GeorgiaI’m an NCTJ trained journalist (see my portfolio here), and alumni of the Two Term Diploma at Leiths School of Food and Wine, who is madly in love with every last morsel of food.

    I like to cook it, eat it and sometimes write about it too. My mad ramblings are generally in pursuit of the stories behind the food. And when I’m not cooking, eating or writing about food, I am probably thinking about it. There have been many occasions when yoga sessions were consumed by thoughts on the best way to make chicken stock and surfing was all about that post-surf sandwich.

    So, to possibly justify or perhaps even profess my undying love for food, I’ve created this site to document my food adventures and reflections. In effect, this is my scrapbook of food.
