Why buy junk food or a supermarket ready meal when you can have the fun of making food from fresh ingredients? Using fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and meat does not have to be either expensive or time consuming. It will probably taste better and be healthier than ready-made alternatives. I am a self-taught cook trying hoping to encourage more people to cook for themselves. Eating should be a good social experience with family or friends. As well as cooking for myself I do eat out, so part of this blog is also an appreciation of those pros who can do much better than me!

I was pleased when Flatlander shared a comment on his experience of Christmas in Finland.
Have I been too hard on what we do in the UK? Do you have any traditions from you country or region you would like to share?
Please share....

I remember as a wee girl, my family and I would stuff ourselves in a little Volkswagon beetle and drive to the big smoke (Toronto, Ontario) for the Christmas holidays.
We were country folks so to drive into the glaring city lights was truly something to behold.
I remember my Nana putting out nuts for us to crack, her homemade plum pudding with brandy sauce and the sounds of the city traffic whizzing by our bedroom window at night.
