When I was growing up, I was the biggest coward you could have ever met. Scared of everything and willing to eat nothing but fish fingers and cucumber, if anyone had told my folks I'd find a career as a food and on-line editor, they would have near-died laughing.
I'm still not sure what flipped the switch but now you'd be hard pressed to find someone more eager to try anything not only once, but - sometimes stupidly - twice. Most of my blogs are about food and I punt on-line and blogging wherever I go. So if you haven't already, sign up for our webletter, join the facebook fan page, and... oh yes... enjoy the blog. Join me on my foodie travels - I hope they inspire to find your own gastronomic map, stop and smell the freshly baked bread, and let your tastebuds lead the journey. |
