But why?

It's rather simple really, I have a folder overflowing with all the recipes I have collected over the years with grand intentions of trying out. Likewise, a scrapbook of favourite recipes from all my friends and family which was a Kitchen tea present. And now I will try them, have actual electronic copies of them, and be able to know which worked or not... Eventually.

The rather pressing thing for me, is actually to attempt and document my mothers recipes. I have one book worth which was 'borrowed' at least 5 years ago, that mum might get back if I can work through, and a second which was compiled lovingly by my mother for my recent kitchen tea. (Not all that recent, now I'm even married!)

There are a collection of recipes, and a handful of traditions both old and new, that I want my kids to one day know about if my mum isn't here, and that is where this whole little project has sprung from.

There will be the occasional restaurant review, as I am a massive foodie, and some other things as I think might be interesting - but that's about the best I can tell you at this stage.

This project is for me, for my mum, and for my family... but if you wish to join me on that journey - welcome for the ride!
