“One of the greatest gifts you can give people is to cook for them” - Ina Garten . I fell in love with cooking because of my mum, who is the best cook I know. She told me the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach, and I discovered that was true when I got married! Cooking out of necessity living in London, for my husband and his family who loved my food and for my sons to ensure they develop a taste for home-cooked meals, led to my passion for cooking. Today cooking is no longer a ‘have to do’ but a ‘love to do’. It is my source of energy, and also therapeutic. I believe food should be fresh, varied and look good (and of course taste great!). I challenge myself to create recipes that suit a variety of palates not just my own. My passion for good food, and encouraged by requests from family and friends for advice, recommendations and recipes, I have been inspired to finally start Poetry of Spices. I hope you are motivated by some of these ideas to cook a dish, or a meal, for loved ones. - Please visit on Instagram for more details @poetryofspices : https://www.instagram.com/poetryofspices
