Do you share the same passion for meals and look forward to dinner time like it was the best part of the day?

Here is a bit about me and meals.

I have a great memory of sitting at the table. It was a formal matter, I could still remember the table etiquette that was expected of me. I would be watched by my mother who gently yet firmly disciplined me on how to sit at the table and looked intently at me to ensure that my narrative was suitable, while my dad enjoyed grappling to the bottle of wine that would have been placed before him. I could still hear her voice till today, ‘keep your elbows off the table when eating’, and other manners that I had to observe which were somewhat unnatural to a child. So I learnt about manners at the table. I have fond memories of how I would be encouraged to share updates with aunties and uncles and great aunties (no great uncles since I had none)…

Pumpkin and Chicken Soup

Sweet Potatoes Pumpkin Roasted Parsley Chopped Leeks Ginger Pumpkin season is here and with autumn just around the corner what more could you ask for than to start off the season with a soup made from fresh pumpkin. This chicken and Pumpkin soup is a great way to finish off any left over chicken that has not been eaten and let's be honest, we all get fed up of eating the same food, but since we are people of good conscience we don't even want to throw it away. However, we all want a different taste to tease our taste buds. So this chicken and heart warming pumpkin soup is a great way to achieve both goals.

What type of cook are you?

Hey there! This is my new blog and I choose to take this time to get to know the blog-scene. You will see my culinary interests here. So stick around for Mediterranean Food. Get ready for the 'oops, look what is left over in my fridge' type of recipes to the 'I got this all planned out and it is going to work out just fine', and anything in between.  This profile pic is one that represents the latter.  Together with my culinary experience and passion for creating we will make cooking a lot more pleasing and easier. So, which type of cook are you? 'oops, look what I have left over in my fridge, what am I going to do with it' 'I got this all planned out and it is going to work out just fine' Let me know. 🙆 Hang on - I took the quiz on the food network and I found out that I am an occasion only cook. This may be who I am but surely does not reflect how I cook, nearly daily. I would prefer the planned occasion meal, I will give you that much.  ...
