I have always been a lover of good food but recently I have fallen in love with cooking, I like exploring with a range of cuisines and flavours.
At the same time, like most people I have a busy lifestyle and I live to spend as time as possible with my family so my dishes are usually quick and simple to rustle up without ever needing to compromise on the taste; in other words they’re banging!
