At my father's 40th birthday party, his good friend Tom Jaworski made a speech which has had a profound and lasting impression on me. He stood up, looked seriously at the 30 or so people gathered there, and said gravely, 'I like my people how I like my food... Big portions, strong flavours...' This blog is about my 21 year old love affair with food, with big portions and with strong flavours
Friends of mine are constantly sending me pictures of the delicious meals that they have been cooking. I do the same. There is a real sense of pride and achievement when you cook something which tastes and looks wonderful. Unfortunately, a lot of the time there is no one around to fully appreciate it! This blog is for people who want to share their culinary triumphs with everyone else. Email me the recipe and a photo of the finished product on izzy_curtis@hotmail.co.uk.

Beetroot, Goats Cheese and Honey Salad
Serves 2/3 (as a side):
2 cooked beetroot
2 tbsp of crumbled goats cheese
1 tsp of honey
2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
1. Slice the beetroot and place it in a bowl.
2. Crumble the goats cheese on top of the beetroot
3. Mix the honey, olive oil, salt and pepper and drizzle it on top of the beetroot.
Having recently been criticised for my shocking overuse of the phrase "simple and delicious", I am willing to take the hit and use it once more...
This dish is SO simple and SO delicious. It's true.
Serve with herb crusted cold roast beef (leftovers from Sunday lunch) and a cherry tomato and avocado salad.
