About me
I am a 70year old South African widowed with 2 boys, one in South Africa and one in England whose wife Liv is embarking on a catering career . I love food and cooking
and try my hand at various cusines , not always successfully but have loads of fun, love Greek ,Thai, Middle Eastern. I try to do one new recipe each week. The South African influence comes through quite strongly with my own creations and I hope to share some with you soon.Food cooked for the outdoors over wood fires Thats Africa ,
As I get older my palate is changing, not so spicy and cutting down on red meat, plainer dishes with chicken,pork,fish and pasta are appearing more and more on my table,still love experimenting
Cooking Influences
Certainly since ive been a member of Cook Eat Share all of you have influenced me greatly, my mother and Grandmother inspired me a fair bit
So much to eat so little time
Have started to cook a lot with Cast Iron over a wood fire.
