My relationship with food has changed drastically over the years. To say I didn’t come from a ‘foodie’ family is quite the understatement. I have no anecdotes of baking with my grandmother, nor do I have any family recipes I can call upon when I’m lacking inspiration.

I relish any opportunity to have loved ones over so I can thrust any new creations I may have under their noses.
I think I get more joy from making others happy with food, than I do cooking for myself, but I'll decide that just after I devour this slice of cake...
