RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My obsessions are largely covered on my own website - follow the link for details. To summarise: cooking (obviously!), and vegan at that - I'm more of a gourmet savoury fan than a sugar addict; books - modern fiction, some classics and cutting-edge science/philosophy; drinks - all things alcoholic, particularly fine wine, Scotch whisky and cocktails; fractal art - if you've never seen any, check it out; freeware - I've managed to satisfy all my software requirements with the freebies; and last but not least, music, of the hard dance variety.
Well, I never did fit easily into any pre-defined category!
