I just love food! I love eating it, cooking it, talking about it, watching other people cooking it etc etc etc.
In this blog, I am slowly putting my collection of recipies together. In this family, we eat what I call Compromise Cusisine. That means that the kitchen must offer something for a spice wuss who likes spice but cannot handle anyuthing too hot. That would be me then. But it must also satisfy those who like to have their teeth kicked in or their tongues bitten off by their food. That would be the rest of the family.
You will find that there is a very strong Scandiribbean influence in here, but you might come across dishes from other cultures as well.
Please don’t look at any of the recipes as being carved in stone. Cooking is not really about recipes at all – it’s about flavours and about tickling the senses. For me the recipes are about inspiration, not about what finally goes in the pot. So get creative out there and let me know of any improvements you’ve made.
Contributions to my collection of recipes are always welcome! And if you like this blog and find it helpful, please consider making a Paperclip Donation. (See the Blogroll for more information.) We’re working on a project for the Paperclip Peeps, underachieving black kids who have very little in terms of security and material wealth, but who have great potential. We want to work with these kids to fight poverty and promote education for a brighter future. Every little penny helps.
