I use fresh, locally-sourced and seasonal ingredients wherever possible and seek to avoid food waste with my “Use-up” recipes. #WastenotWantnot

My wife and I love travelling and exploring different cuisines but never under-estimate traditional British cooking: every country has something to offer, including in the field of home cooking. Cookpad UK Ambassador.
