Love food. Love cooking food. Especially love having other people to cook for, and trying out new recipes on them.
Mostly vegetarian, do eat a little seafood and starting to get into chicken.
The vast majority of my recipes are gluten-free and diabetic friendly (except the desserts - have to cater for the boyfriend's sweet tooth).
