I have just put all of my Mexican cookbooks into self storage, because I am fully confident that I know all of the techniques and recipes by heart.

This is one of my absolute favourite meals at the moment.

Oysters

One of my all times favourite food is oysters. They just taste so good. There are many recipes for oysters, as they provide just very easy and quick meals, and I can bet each one of them are good. Why? Because you cannot cook oysters bad, as they simply taste so good, though I would say the same about shrimps. Oysters apart from tasting well are also were beneficial for us.

Dress fabrics and the dinner table

If you’re like me, then you might spend a bit of time considering what to wear when eating at the dinner table. If you’re visiting a fancy fine dining establishment, then it’s always a good idea to dress up, while if you’re visiting a more casual eatery, you’ll want to make sure that you’re not overdressed–but not too sloppy, either. There’s nothing worse than being denied a seat because you’re wearing inappropriate footwear. However, another thing that you should consider More

Meatball Improvisations

I have just had a set of custom stickers made for my kitchen, each one has one of my favourite meals on it, and reminds me how easily it is to cook delicious meals from scratch. I am embarrassed to say that I am a meatball addict. The good news is that I don’t tend to get stuck in ruts with my meatballs, I change the mince, the type of crumbs, the fresh herbs, and always grate in some sort More

Make life interesting (and healthy)

Hands up who is on a diet, now that the festive period is over? Well, my hand certainly shot up in the air! After weeks of eating snacks and sweets and sitting around the house doing nothing but snooze and watch comedy online, it’s high time I not only started thinking about what I’m eating again, but also showed my face back at the gym…

Snackaholic

It was whilst working in one of my London teaching jobs, in fact based right by Victoria Station, when I realized where it is that I spend all of my money. Okay, maybe not all of my money, but at least 75 percent. FOOD. I’m not the kind of person who will buy enough food for a week of breakfasts, lunches and dinners. For me it’s more like this:
