Here we go....

Hello and welcome to my blog :)

Ever since I got married and moved to the UK from Sweden last year, I've developed a passion for cooking and baking. With my mum no longer around to handle the cooking and household activities, I had to roll up my sleeves and become the chef of our house. I started by following basic recipes I knew and those my mum had taught me. Through experimentation, I developed my own recipes and learned so much about food and cooking in the process.


Eventually, I ventured online and discovered various food websites, and most importantly, YouTube with its array of lovely recipe videos. One of my favorite YouTubers is Laura Vitale, who primarily cooks Italian cuisine and shares simple and easy-to-follow recipes. Additionally, I've become enamored with the Food Network (channel 49 on Freeview) since discovering it recently. I can spend hours watching and learning from chefs like Nigella Lawson, Jenny Morris, Reza Mahammad, and many others.

There's no particular cooking style or type of food I adhere to. I enjoy experimenting with different dishes from all corners of the world, influenced by my experiences with food from various cultures through friends, family, travels, and fellow international students at university. 

Therefore, I'll be blogging about all the new recipes I try out, sharing both my successful and not-so-successful experiments in the kitchen. I love using fresh veggies and a variety of spices in my cooking, so I'll also be sharing what I always have on hand in my kitchen

My goal is to make this blog my kitchen playground, where I gather all my recipes, information, and experiences in cooking and baking, along with other interesting food-related topics. I'd love to share it with all of you who enjoy cooking, baking, or simply eating. Feel free to leave a comment whenever you visit, share your own recipes or blog with me, and enjoy reading my blog! :)
