Hello world!

 This is a story about the love of cooking anywhere and everywhere. Adventures of my travels both alone and with family and friends.

 It starts with me filling in and eventually taking over the preparation, planning and cooking the family meals while my wife saw to the kids when we both came home from a busy days work.

Instead of me saying to my lovely wife “ what’s for dinner” to “guess what’s on the menu tonight.

Even our son and daughter ( then aged six and three respectfully ) got into the act sometimes by wanting to “assist” me in the kitchen by either cutting something up or pinching a morsel here and there.

It reminds me of good times, what with dogs, cats and kids all around my feet looking to scrounge for titbits, and the occasional head of my wife peeping around the corner checking up that alls well and safe in the kitchen.

The story goes on to acquaint with actual recipes combined with our travels in and around South Africa then a move to England for six and a half years and another move once again to the beautiful New Zealand.

The objective of this read is to tell a story of good times, adventure with a bit of humor as well as tried and trusted recipes for the reader to experiment with and create his or hers own cooking adventures.
