Hello!

So, this is my first ever blog entry! As you will hopefully have read in my About Me section, this is my little space on the web for me to post photos of food that I've made myself, or general food-y things that I like!

Over time, I hope to create Twitter and Facebook pages, and maybe even a food-related Instagram stream at some point. But for now, I'm jsut getting my head around how this whole blogging thing works!

So to get started, here is a selection of some of the food that I have made in my cooking journey so far!

Here was the first Cottage Pie I ever made! Many people confuse Cottage and Shepherds pies, but who heard of a shepherd looking after cows?! Shepherds pie is made with lamb mince, and Cottage pie with beef!

Another firsr for me - this was the first Toad in the Hole I made. The recipe came from my trusty James Martin cookbook (which I will do a post on later), and it got the seal of approval from Dan, my boyfriend!

Unbelievably, I managed to get to the age of 26 without making a Sunday dinner! So this was my first attempt, and if I must say so myself, it was pretty tasty. And it must be noted that this was also the first time that Dan ate parsnips, and he really enjoyed them.

You will probably notice that all of these dishes are traditional 'meat and two veg' meals, but I do live in Yorkshire, and Dan is a Sheffield native! I wouldn't call myself a one trick pony though, so watch this space for more to come....!!
