My Passion for Cooking.

I have found cooking to be a passion of mine since my childhood.
I try to cook from scratch as much as possible, but find I enjoy creating a meal out of anything brings me great joy.
I am happy to create a meal from leftovers, takeout or whatever is in the fridge, freezer, or cupboard.
I try to cook and eat healthy gourmet food whenever the ingredients present themselves.
Below are some pictures of some of the meals I have cooked for my Family and friends over the past year.
