I've always loved food. All kinds of food. It's only recently that I started cooking. What started off as a way of relieving stress, quickly turned into a regular habit. My colleagues seem to love what I make and I hope they are being honest about it. See... I also own the company so can't be sure :o) I am a big fan of Jamie Oliver's simple cooking. I don't really enjoy fine dining but am a firm believer that presentation is 3 quarters the game. I love desserts although I don’t have a sweet tooth. Light fluffy creamy melt-in-your-mouth desserts is what I’d love to bake. I make a mean pie, a juicy pepper steak, a great Spanish Omelette and all in all good cookies. My mum runs the kitchen in our family home with the help of my parents cook but she’s the head chef. She makes the best brown rice with lentil soup and minced meat & potatoes. Yumm. I get my fair share whenever I visit them. Funnily enough, if I had to write about a Favourite Family Cooking Tradition, I’d have to take my hat off to my dad and his amazing palette. He’s a retired Air Force officer and the best unorthodox-chef I know. He rarely walks into the kitchen but when he does, man-o-man its great. He’s recipes usually start with a kind of throw everything in and see what happens. It always turns out unbelievably good but sometimes a second batch of the same recipe is impossible as he has no idea how he made it the first time. Chicken & Potato Pot Pie (the crust was also home made and it turned out great), Frosted Walnut Brownies, Peanut Butter Cookies, Pepper Steak (with mashed potatoes and mix veggies). Pound Cake (which I over cooked) and Beef Strudel (which tasted great but lost out on the presentation)
