About me

I like food and cooking and, more recently also, writing about it. After a stressful day, cooking can calm me down. Well, however, when I'm too hectic, things could get dangerous as well (OK, all fingers are still present).
When cooking, I don't like to stay with things I know. It all started, when I was younger, by buying a book about Mexican food. Thai, Turkish, Caribbean and Indian followed and it always continued to add further countries.
More recently my passion (shall I call it that way ... hm ... why not!) for cooking has intensified after using a cookbook that worked very good and gave totally delicious results. Maybe you can find out which one it might have been by looking at the list of my cookbooks.
Now cooking also means trying new things also from what is local, that means new ingredients and ways.
If there would be more time, it would be great to experiment with several new recipes every day. However, when it comes to that, there is never enough time.
Well then most of what I know about cooking I got from cookbooks. I could say reading is also one of my hobbies.
All what you read here on my blog comes from my own mind, unless I mention otherwise. Sometimes I don't even know myself, what way my mind goes (no worries)!
If you check out some of the displayed ads and click on them, it will not make me filthy rich. In fact, I don't know what it will do. Have a try then so I might find out!
What will the future bring? Food, food, food, and who knows what else!
With persistence and trying again every day to get the best out of it, life goes on in a delicious kind of way ...

One day I will get a better picture

this picture from a comic I did, doesn't help either

My lovely dog Lucy. She would eat (or swallow up) everything I give her, but she doesn't get everything.

Last but not least ... I have a blog in German as well: Koch doch ma!
