I love to cook - probably like you - and I like to try new dishes. I'm lucky enough to live close to a wonderful library with tons of great cookbooks and I've also been very lucky in finding cookbooks with lots of good recipes. Here are some of my favorite dishes, things which are rather easy to make and extremely savoury. I have a preference for hearty food and dishes from less well-known cuisines. I hope you enjoy them!.
