A home cook with a passion for cooking and creating in my kitchen. I enjoy making soups, curries, stir-fries, pasta dishes, English roast dinners and the challenge of creating new meals using whatever is in the fridge and pantry. Asian, Indian, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines are among my favorites. Anything spicy. I prefer savory over sweet and rarely eat desserts.
