My Passion For Good Food

It runs in the DNA, I come from a long line of good cooks and hunters. In my father's native country our linage was of the native Carib Indians that lived there before anyone else arrived. I can image in those times, my family would have hunted the same way they do to this very day. My grandfather and great uncles still enjoy hunting for wild meat and still do regular fishing. My grandfather is known in his town for being incredibly intelligent and wise. Both my grandparents are known very well in the community for their cooking probably because of their parents before them.

We used to have big cookouts regularly and it isn't so much about the alcohol but more about the food. We enjoy trying out new things, cooking from different cultures and using all the different aromatic flavours, herbs and spices. This has descended all the way to me, in the UK. Where the traditional food here to say the least, is the total opposite.  

In the UK I wonder how onion, garlic and pepper has become so offensive to people that once couldn't eat a meal without it.

Nevertheless I am proud of my passion and I enjoy cooking and eating good food as a great hobby. I don't eat much anymore purely because I don't have a huge appetite, but when I do eat, the food has to be flavourful and delicious.

Cooking good food is my favourite hobby because of my nurturing instincts. Even when I have no desire to eat, I will still cook for others if I know they won't eat anything else otherwise. I love cooking healthful food and must have at least 2-3 super-foods in each dish, unbeknownst to my guests. I love seeing the excitement on their faces when they try alternative meals and wonder why and how it still tastes so good. People go home and wonder what they've been eating their whole life and the next time I see them they always make slow and gradual changes, its beautiful to see the influence food and natural remedies have over people's lives. It's part of something you do so regularly and daily, so it's important to know and love what your putting on and inside of your body.

The recipes that I share on my website are some of my quick favourites for really busy people like myself, I want something that's quick and tastes good when I get home. Although I am mostly raw vegan, I make cooked food with protein for the men in my family.

I don't want to be cooking or preparing food for more then an hour.

I have found that people who eat meat are the same. It's so easy to pick up 'the fast food processed alternative' of just about anything instead of cooking. The only way to train yourself off of these foods, is to create your own 'just as fast' food alternatives. 

So in thought of regular questions and compliments about my recipes, I wanted to encourage people to do better, to acknowledge the easier way to be little more healthier everyday!
