I'd like to send out a big hullo to all you guys first and foremost and thank you in advance for accepting me into your midst..
A journalist and media-professional.. Food and love (synonymous for me) rule my world, words follow closely behind..
Worked as a food critic for a while and loved it in the beginning.. All that 'free food' after all.. But discretion intervened and got tired of the sub-standard stuff that came my way more often than the fabulous fare of the heavens..
Loooooooove eating good food but by the most unfortunate of coincidences, the best kind does no favours for the waistline.. So I love cooking even more.. Nothing better than doling out big ladlefuls of love in every meal that you prepare and seeing people end up completely satiated!
