Food is an extension of who we are or literally what we are. Therefore food should never be boring or dull or tasteless. It should evoke passion, excitement and even a little fear for these qualities are what keeps life intriguing.
I have been food crazy for a long time and an advocate for the ritual of regular meal sharing. What happened to the daily sit down dinner with the family?
With the increase in easy grab foods so many have become complacent about what good food is.
I was born and raised in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I moved overseas around 12 years ago. I have lived as far away as Nigeria and Borneo and Argentina to name a few and have taken my experiences and incorporated them into my food. The challenge of incorporating globally inspired food into a weekly repetoir of menus is exciting. I try and eat fresh, local and organic when I can and if I can. If I can make it myself then why buy it?
I make food interesting by using a variety of ingredients including, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, citrus, nuts, seeds, spices and herbs of all kinds.
