The idea for this blog started when I realised that pretty much every night of the week I was eating something new and wonderful. I live divided between two households- mine and my girlfriends. The combined households are an amazing multicultural mix. We have - one Australian (me) ,one 1/2 German 1/2 Camaroonian (my girlfriend), one Japanese (my girlfriend's flatmate, one scottish (the other flatmate), one English (flatmates girlfriend) and my flatmates- one Irish and one Welsh. We are all mad, keen cooks and eaters- and not to mention, a bit competitive.
All this means that on any given night we could have - Sushi and tempura with miso soup or risotto with prawns, a gratin of fennel, served with parsnips and freshly made herb bread, or plantain with a spicy tomato sauce and a peanut sauce, or a simple pasta dish of brocolli and anchovies.
I think in the last month i have not eaten the same dish twice- and i haven't been to any restuarants at all! That's not to say we don't eat out- that's where we get some of our best ideas from after all! But at the moment we are all in serious cocooning mode-and as the two housholds are fairly new-we haven't run out of repertoire. I am going to include restaurant reviews when we do eventually get out into the world again.
And so- let the eating begin..........
