I received this mouth watering book for Christmas.... well, ok I bought it for myself after buying two other copies for Mum and girlfriend Marie, then when flicking through and lusting after the deliciousness page after page caved and bought a third.
It's boxing day, the day of nothing-ness after the hectic crazy of Christmas, so I was sitting outside with Mum drooling over the pictures when the idea struck... instead of this being ANOTHER cookbook that sits in my pantry which rarely sees the light of my kitchen, why not make this book, this deliciousness, this mouth watering goodness, the food focus for 2012.
Now don't get me wrong, I am a good cook, a great cook even. The problem is, of late, I tend to stick to what I know, what's safe and I just 'wing' it. It works, it tastes ok, but it isn't exciting. There is no passion in the food, no love, its more the business end of things - to get the job done. I want the passion back and to taste the love in my food again.
The challenge has been set... Every.Single.Recipe in this cook book WILL be created during 2012. I intend to have friends partake in the challenge (you didn't think you would get away with this scot-free did you?), sample the food and find the best dish of 2012.
Join me in 2012 in this journey of food and creation.
