I have been told in this day and age it is rare for a 21 year old female to find cooking such a hobby, so i decided to write this blog to keep record of my experiences and cooking conquests. Im definatly big on simple but good meals, and of a decent size! Anything I post up will more than likely be good simple and as Kiwi as can be :-) Hopefully along the way I may inspire other to give it a go, who can resist good food...apart from Posh Spice and Nicole Richie!

First Post

Wow how exciting my very own blog!
People have been talking about these for quite some time and I havent really thought about doing my own until today!
My main reason I wanted to start one is that I am slowly building up skills in cooking that I wish to share and also that I want to document all of my recipes and failures and success stories so that I and other may learn from them!

A bit about myself...Well I am 21, nearly 22 and live in a rural town in New Zealand! I live in a small house with my partner James and my 3 year old dog Kyla, You will probably hear alot about her and James as I rant and rave!
I work full time and use cooking as a way to relax, its amazing that a chore to most can actually become a hobby!
I started enjoying cooking due to the enjoyment others get out of food when it is great cooking!
People rarely find the time these days to sit down and savour the moment!

I started off with pre made mixes, such as muffins etc. and slowly got better at making them.
I am also a magazine addict and love any excuse to buy one, therefore I started buying all of the cooking magazines and slowly reading through them trying to take in any tips I could!
Basically I grew up in a meat and 3 veg household, as most kiwis do, and I still love that one main meal of the day - dinner!
Recently I have taken to baking as a challenge, as I used to enjoy mainly cooking mains and found baking quite a challenge but I think I am slowly getting there!

Well enough going on I shall start my blog or I guess its more of a food diary, but wither way here we go :-)
