Welcome to my new blog! Take a peek inside my Cabinet of Cookery at what I’m cooking, creating, eating and enjoying EVERYDAY. I’m continually inspired by the food prepared by others and I’d like to share MY meals, successes stories and mishaps with you.

This is seriously tasty home-style cooking by a seriously busy home cook. The ingredients are sourced, prepped, cooked and served up by me. Some meals are surprisingly simple but delicious; others require some additional effort but with outstanding results. Most dishes are nutritious, but with a soft spot for baking, there will always be a generous serving of sweets and treats for you to try in your kitchen.

I prepare meals that are designed to appeal to the eyes and often critical palates of family and friends across a range of ages. And after all my chopping, slicing, baking and sautéing, the best compliment is hearing a chorus of “more please” ring out across the kitchen!

A common question over breakfast is, “What’s for dinner?” Sounds familiar? Well, this blog aims to make those cooking decisions less of a dilemma and more of a delight. With some forward planning, I will show you how to do more than just twist open the lid of a jar!
