Do it yourself, or forage - all can be fun.

There’s about 15% more of me than I really want. This reflects a few things - for example a long-term love of food and eating, exacerbated by having a job for 20 years that involved lots of overseas travel where I frequently found myself in fabulous restaurants with little to do other than eat and drink. More recently, my condition is affected by being the beneficiary of the culinary skills of my dear partner who cannot be named, but whose mission in the later years of her life seems to be to find, prepare and present the most amazingly delicious dishes from every corner of the Earth. We have very few repetitions.

After years of effectively being the main (and often sole) houseperson, my role these days is largely as chief chopper, and of course provider of bread and other baked delicacies.

Please wait while I sharpen my knife.
