I’m a 30 something British guy who moved to Australia 5 years ago. Before the move I cooked a little, enjoyed it, but had no real knowledge of what food was out there! I was a cook who knew what I liked, and did little to venture out of my comfort zone. But all that was to change when I moved to the other side of the globe, namely, Sydney, Australia. I chose the perfect place to settle for culinary delights. I had no idea the diverse cuisine Australia had to offer. The greatest hits of Asia, The Mediterranean and Middle East. Sydney has has opened up to me in a big way just how good food can be.
This blog is follows a simple premise. It’s a documentation of what I’m eating and cooking at home – and how you can recreate it in your house. Sometimes simple, sometimes complex… always tasty.
I go through my food fads and phases but if you spend some time on the blog you’ll quickly discern that my favourite foods to cook are South East Asian, Indian, Spanish and Turkish. I’m up for any new taste and recipe and have a vast array of cookery books at my beck and call. I try and post a recipe every second day – I had tried to do it every day, but found it way too difficult and it meant I couldn’t eat my favourites again or indeed go out for food! Generally, I’m a home cook without any cheffy flourishes to get in the way, but from time to time I do like to bring out the show-off in my personality.
If you’d like to contact me regarding anything about the website then feel free…
I'm Lee, a self diagnosed food obsessive and the author of this blog. I hope you enjoy or are about enjoy my food and recipes. Be sure to share your opinions and thoughts as often as you can. 
Thanks very Much Gordon.
I hope you enjoy the curries. Let me make a few suggestions for you to get going…
The Burmese Chicken curry is my absolute favourite, try the Lahore Chicken curry too. Don’t forget the Lamb Madras and the Bhuna both of which were the first two I made. Recent faves are the chicken Phal and Mughali Chicken, and all the Sri Lankan fish curries. I could literally go on and on till I list ALL my curries!
Thanks again,
Lee
What a fantastic site for curryholics………………. after 50 years of marriage my wife has decided I can do my own thing in the kitchen.. and your site recipes look so good… Can’t wait for my next cooking session….
Thanks for that. Nice to hear people are trying the recipes. That chicken dish was lovely!!
Some nice new recipes coming soon too.
I am glad I found your blog. I didn’t see the old version but am enjoying looking for new ideas for cooking. The roast chicken stuffed with dates and nuts is probably what I’ll try next.
Hi Mary.
Sorry you’re not loving the new look. I moved the blog to my own server a couple of weeks ago and wanted a new look. I am still getting used to it and am still not 100% sold on it myself.
I may try another new look and feel at some point as your comment isn’t the first I’ve had.
I think I may have made the site just a little too “professional” and it may have lost some of its charm.
Bear with me as I decide what to do!
Thanks for your comments.
I’m so sorry. I absolutely loved the original site for your wonderful recipe collection and raved about it with many friends.
Why isn’t this new version working for me? I miss the links to main food catagories, the layout seemed friendlier (it’s more ‘newspapery’ now), and the food photos are just not making me want to stop and read on. It’s just not the same. I don’t know what to do now when I arrive at your site. I used to look so forward visiting, in anticipation of some wonderful delightful inspiration and ideas awaiting me and now I’m just stumped.
I’m not a good one for change I guess. I’ll keep trying but I wanted to let you know your old site was much loved by someone.
Thanks. What a technical nightmare it turned out to be, but I think it’s much better. And I got to learn how to write complicated html script along the way! Bonus.
Congrats on the new URL and redesign.
Thanks, Glad you like the blog!
Would love some of your recipes. I loved the food in Cambodia when I took a holiday there. Delicious.
Email me HERE with your favourites and if I make them I’ll be sure to credit you.

Fantastic blog! I was really thrilled to see some Burmese recipes
I was born in Burma, grew up in UK and now just moved to Sydney. Look forward to reading more of your culinary adventures. I have loads of Burmese recipes if you’re interested in trying.
Thanks! I like to travel in the kitchen too.
I like your blog a lot. I love to travel and try new foods. Your blog takes me on a whirlwind world food tour!
I’m not sure if my previous message got through. Just wanted you to know that I enjoyed my visit to your blog and intend to try a couple of your recipes. Also I’m impressed with your move to Australia. I’ve heard about some of the problems you were having with drought.
