PINTEREST HAS A LOT TO ANSWER FOR!

About six months ago I discovered pinterest and started trying things that I never thought I would be interested in. I had never attempted making jewellery or paper snowflakes - granted some of my experiments have been more useful than others! 

This new inspiration to just have a go led to me taking a long hard look at the rapidly growing collection of food porn (recipe books) that is weighing down my bookshelves. I have been one of those people who 'reads' recipe books every night in front of the T.V. for about...Oh God I think it's four years.

Yes, I like Jamie a lot (he has the best pics)

That is quite shocking considering I tried about two recipes in all that time! But recently I started trying at least one new recipe/ingredient per week. This is quite an expensive undertaking I must say, but great fun and really worth it. Some of the experiments have ended up being part of my regular repertoire of meals making evening meals a lot more enjoyable and varied. 

I adore food, and now love trying new things in the kitchen - with variable results. 

Tonight it's sprats. Got to gut them and everything! Eeeek! Will take pics and report back on whether it's worth it.
