Food is for me one of the little pleasures of life; whether it's cooking for family & friends or looking through a new restaurant's menu, food makes me smile.

I have been brought up with food being an integral part of my culture and as a way to bring people together - with a full tummy and a smile of their faces. Most of my recipes are simple dishes I throw together at home with what is in the cupboards or made it home from the weekly shopping. With a sprinkling of more traditional family recipes from my mum and grandma back in Italy.
