I bloody love cooking. Especially for myself. I know it sounds selfish but I've been a chef and cooking is no fun at all if you're putting a shit load of effort into it and then you don't to eat it. Whilst working unsociable hours. And then going home smelling of chips.
Since moving in with my other half (who henceforth shall be referred to as "the Baconator") I've really stepped up the amount of cooking and experimenting in the kitchen that I do. The Baconator loves to eat too and can't cook. So she washes up. Which is great.
I regularly find myself saying 'oh I should really start writing recipes down'. But I don't and so this blog is an effort to get theses recipes down. Also it's an opportunity to share ideas with friends. Last night for a friends birthday we went over for homemade burgers and my friend Chloe used a recipe that I sent her for my "'Chorizo' Burgers". They were even better than I'd made them before so the idea of sharing recipes has taken on a new appeal.
I tend to do everything by eye and tongue. Lots of taste testing and variation whilst cooking. So there will rarely be any measurements in recipes I post. If you're somebody who requires a recipe book to cook you might find these difficult to replicate. Best just take the general idea and experiment yourself. It's more fun that way anyway and you're likely to be able to make them even better (The Baconator is still quite fussy which can sometimes hold me back from adding certain ingredients).
I may post again tonight as I'm currently cooking a side of salmon. I'll also add up the "Chorizo" burger recipe at some point. Posts will be sporadic.
