About

Like many people, I find that cooking is therapeutic. If I woke up late, got drenched by a bus driving through a puddle, messed up too many times at work and tore my tights, I will go home, fill the teapot and bake banana bread and the comforting balm of creating something delicious will gently eliminate the frizzy mess that has been a bad day.

The kitchen is my sanctuary. I love it.

I am fairly frugal in the kitchen - the challenge of using up odds and ends to make a meal is both interesting and rewarding. Unless of course something very perishable is very out of date. Bad news is what that is.

Around The Kitchen Table is somewhere to satisfy my love of cooking and my passion for writing. If I am upset or angry, or excited or inspired, about anything, it helps to write it all down and let whatever emotion I am feeling spill through the nib of the pen.

So, a food blog? A diary about food and cooking...

Ohh this is lovely stuff.
