Cherry, Nut Biscuits
"Mum used to make these biscuits for me all the time as a kid, and they are still so good! I think they may have come from a Women's Weekly cookbook, but they're really simple biscuits to make, use basic ingredients and suit so many tastes... whenever they've been made they always go down a real treat (and they look pretty special to!)."

Ofcourse this photo isn't actually me, but it's a pic i came across one day and just loved it!
Moving on...
I'm an Aussie girl and i absolutely love living here (in the food sense lol!) because it's so easy to access foods from all sorts of cultures and it's all so easily accessible! I work in a cafe which is quite fitting, and it's great because i'm around food all the time (and it's free...!). I do a heck of a lot of dancing and am about to enter year 12 (argh, exams and hard work!) so i do a lot of cooking as a way of relaxing. Also a bit of a healthy nut, and i don't tolerate dairy too well, so i'm always looking out for ways to make a recipe healthier and how to make it without dairy! I still enjoy cooking with everything (even if i don't eat it!) and most of the time it's passed onto the rest of the family (who are definitely happy with me doing the cooking fairly regularly!)
