I live near Edinburgh
My job is working as a team leader in a hardware store
My passion is cooking and eating
Favourite cook books for the house are the Good Housekeeping or Sainsbury,s cookbook and Recipe Zaar
Baking is my passion, but no one eats home baked goods in my house so my work mates reap the benefit of my baking. my family are too fussy and do not appreciate good food.
I love to look for new recipes on the internet or buy old cookbooks and cook and bake all day long.
