About Me
My name is Martine. Welcome to my kitchen. This is my personal blog devoted to desserts for the home cook. I currently live in Melbourne. I am married and have four boys. I love to spend time with my family, read, run and cook. I am a self-taught baker. My husband and children love to sample everything I make and they can be the toughest critics. What I haven't figured out yet is why when they tell me "this isn't quite right", the food still disappears before the day is done. Going to work is easy, staying at home supervising -homework, -computer use, -music and being a chauffeur for my children is a challenge. I always asked my children to do their homework in the kitchen so that I could supervise their computer use when they were younger. This led me to spend more and more time in the kitchen and so my journey into cooking took off.. For me, cooking is enjoyable and a stress reliever. I often don't realise what time it is, only to find out it's past midnight and I have to take myself off to bed so that I don't look too tired at work the next day. Cooking isn't work, I do it with my heart. It has become a passion. I always know what I want to try next. Too many recipes and not enough time! I hope you enjoy my blog. Enjoy the recipes and happy cooking! |
