Food actually

Ever since I was a little girl I have loved food, loved eating and loved everything that comes with a nice meal: the candles, the tranquility, the time we share, the linnen napkins, the conversations and of course the food itself. A break in everything else happening in life. A kind of time-out. Growing up in a family with two older sisters and a mother who´s as passionate about food as myself, it was troublesome for me to get into the kitchen. I read cookbooks in bed since I was four and I loved watching food programs on television but I actually never helped out in the kitchen at home until I was grown up. I made food in secret while I was alone in the house and thought by my self -one day I would make a lot of food as well. So i did! The best days Im now spending cooking for a whole day in my kitchen. I love to have guests and cook for a social and hopefully lovely meal in the evening. 

After moving to a farm, I have been even more passionate about the ingredients and where they come from, the culture and traditions. Having a farm is the perfect opportunity to grow your own vegetables, to use ingredients you know everything about. Its better for the environment and it seems like the only right thing to do -when you have the opportunity to do it. I prefer using the seasons and when I make food I normally pick the ingredients I would like to use and then make something out of it. Im not always planning what to make and I love to experiment -quite often with just a few commodities. Food is fun and making food should be a pleasure, either if you have plenty of food or not.
