On cooking


I do not know whether "cook" is the word that best describes me or not but what I do know is that it says a lot about me. I enjoy being in the kitchen. I also enjoy feeding my friends and family. I am not the best cook ever- not at all- but I spend an awful lot of time trying out different recipes.The second "o" you see in the picture above has been my greatest cooking disaster so far. A month ago or so I had a go at baking gluten-free bread and this is what I got after three and a half hours of dedicated work.

I see cooking as a way of self-expression and a source of inspiration. My kitchen is full of things that most people would tend to keep elsewhere -books, music, newspapers, pencils, pens, etc. I enjoy working, reading and thinking in the kitchen. Cooking is one of the few things that make me feel happy, creative and productive with surprisingly little effort- that's probably why I attach so much importance to it.
