I live in the Cotswolds in England. It's a beautiful part of the country. My husband is from Turkey and I signed up to find some yummy Turkish recipes to surprise him with. I want to try using less meat in my cooking, not that I'm a vegetarian, but I just don't think it's neccessary to eat meat all the time. Currently I work P/T and spend the rest of the time as a less than diligent housewife, so have many hours to cook =)
