I would just like to say that you have got to be my new favourite chef. I am a huge fan of Lorraine Pascale, Donna Hay, Nigella, and the like, but your recipes are so in tune with the kind of things I am looking to produce in my own kitchen. Modern, progressive, yet with just the right amount of old-school flair to make every dish look delectable. Well done! Will definitely be following you from hereon out.
Aww Thank you Bianca! I'm so glad you found me too 🙂 I hope you enjoy the recipes, lots of yummy ones to try! And I'll have to check out Lorraine Pascale I don't know her? Thanks for sharing!!
Can I use dried thyme?
