I live in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. My previous jobs include teaching in a cookery school and catering management at a resort hotel. Although I love putting on a show for friends and family and can make the most intricate and "pretty" foods, I still prefer good, honest one- or two pot meals, made with fresh ingredients and lots of love. DH loves everything I cook or bake. His favourite food is chocolate, so he's really easy to please. No kids yet, a Jack Russell who rules the roost and will eat anything put in front of her.
I love traveling and have seen quite a bit of the world and also eaten some interesting foods.
In my spare time I sing, I'm a soprano with a small chamber music group. Apart from concerts (mainly for charity) we hold monthly soirees at my home, where a whole bunch of musicians and other hangers-on make a lot of music and have lots to eat and drink.
A month off - what bliss - I will definitely fill the cookie tins and spend lots of time on the beach with some good books, maybe a bit of travelling to far off countries, some time spent in the quaint little eateries in Provence sounds like a good idea.
