001. The Beginning

I shall begin this blog post with the mandatory self-introduction. My name is Linda and I am a food-a-holic. I was prompted to start a blog, namely one about food, for a number of reasons. If you know me in real life, you know that I LUUUUUUUURRRRRRVE food. Eating it, cooking it, mushing it around on my plate (then eating it). 

I used to write a lot, now I eat a lot. So why not try combine the two? My aims for this blog are:

• to document my forays into the food industry; food writing, tasting, cooking, products, restaurants etc and,
• to have a crack at writing proper and somewhat publishable articles/blog posts. But I will probably throw some casual entries too (bear with me purists!) 

I would describe myself as a (very) amateur cook but a food enthusiast. I have a love/hate relationship with food; a true food romancer.  I usually eat then pat my food baby (and usually with a huge grin on my face). With that being said, let's get this show started.
