I’ve always enjoyed cooking from a fairly early age. I’m not particularly brilliant at it but presenting a plate of food to someone is something that I get a huge amount of pleasure from (if it’s good). Speaking to Pod as I was putting the finishing touches to a parmagiana he said that I should write a blog, or I said to him that I should write a blog, so I took a picture of the parmagiana, put it in the oven then started the blog.

I’ve decided I’m just going to write about as many meals as I can and see where it goes. I’ll include other bits of random information but I’m not prescribing to any blog methodology, I’m just going freestyle as Pete would have it. I always seem to be concerned about what other people think but I’m going to shelve that as much as I can, people judge, they always do (that’s for you Nick).

I’m going to kick off with the Parmagiana (or is it melanzana?)
