The Start of Things

Hello. 

This is my new blog. 

It's for foody stuff. 

Last year, ending in August 2015, I completed a challenge that I set myself upon turning 30. To read all the childrens' books and make all the recipes they inspired, within a book my friend gave me that birthday, called Turkish Delight and Treasure Hunts, by Jane Brocket. And blog about each one. 23 books and over 25 recipes. In one year. I did it and I loved it. I should probably have given it its own blog from the start, rather than posting it all on my illustration blog, Susie and the Pencils. Since then, my love of cooking has been deepening and I've been enjoying making up my own recipes and trying out all sorts of yummy things.

I'm more in love than ever with my kitchen and the recipes are spilling out all over the place so I am riding that wave and letting it happen. I plan to make a book, but for now, here is my place to share some recipes and foodish thoughts, or link to nice things that other people are doing with food. I love cookery books, so I'll also let you know which books I've been reading and which recipes I've been trying. 

If you do try or share any of my recipes, please let people know where they've come from. It's a wonderful creative process, making new recipes, but it's like writing a song or a book or painting a picture. Thanks.
