About me
I'm a healthy eating enthusiast, rookie triathlete (just the very easy ones), freelance marketer, mom of one and British transplant living in the American South.
I love food, cooking and discovering the best local ingredients and dishes in the places I live and travel to.
In recent years I've become interested in lightening up our family meals - cutting down on saturated fats, adding a little more of the good stuff. And I often remind myself, at least wine is fat free!
Cooking Influences
My mother and anywhere I have lived or travelled to, in particular my time spent living in France and Scotland.
Recommendations
Chefs I recommend
- Tom Lewis (Balquidder, United Kingdom)
- Frank Stitt (Birmingham, AL)
- Jamie Oliver (London, United Kingdom)
- Apart from his cooking I love what he is doing to encourage healthy food in schools.
Restaurants I Recommend
- Monachyle Mhor (Balquidder, United Kingdom)
- My all-time favourite restaurant!
- The Boat House (Nelson, New Zealand)
- Sensational seafood and I can still taste the cappuccino creme brulee
- Three Chimneys (Isle of Skye , United Kingdom)
- Stunning food year after year, one of the best restaurants in the UK
- Loch Fyne Oyster Bar, (Loch Fyne, United Kingdom)
- The BEST smoked and roast-smoked salmon to be found anywhere. If you live in the UK they also do mail order. Beautiful setting at the head of Loch Fyne.

- April 27, 2012Your recipes are so interesting! Hope you enjoy the great state of Alabama! I live about 1 1/2 hours away from birmingham!4 replies
- April 28, 2012Hi Julie - thanks for the message! Yes I really enjoy living in Alabama - from a food point of view I love the Gulf fish and seafood and the local produce. Being from England, I do struggle a bit with the summer heat!! I look forward to checking out your recipes too.
- April 29, 2012I totally agree about the seafood! The next time you're at Gulf Shores go check out King Neptune's Seafood. It's a little hole in the wall that's been there for years! My family and I have been eating there since around 1998, its been in business since the 80's. We've never had a bad meal there and the deep fired cheesecake is wonderful (though not exactly healthy lol). The shrimp florentine at the Oyster House is great too!
- May 15, 2012Julie - thanks for the tip, I'll try King Neptune's and the Oyster House next time I'm down there.
- September 8, 2011Judee - thanks for stopping by! I am also following you too. I only had time for a quick look at your recipes today but I'll be back soon, they look amazing.
