My name is Miss Dolly and I am a a big food nerd! I love to cook, bake, eat, watch and read about food! My favourite thing to do is curl up on a Saturday morning and watch cooking shows with a pile of jam on toast. Food is not just a big part my life but my boyfriend's life as well. We cook and come up with food ideas together and we have both developed our own specialties. I am a keen baker, a skill I got from my mum who is amazing at making and decorating cakes. I have been lucky enough to learn an awful lot from her and I have dabbled in cake decorating myself.
My love of food began as a child when my Mum enrolled me in cookery summer school. It was one of my favourite experiences as I got to be creative and eat an awful lot of food. I still use the skills learnt at summer school and I am grateful to my mum for sending me kicking and screaming... I came out singing and dancing!
A few years ago I discovered I had allergies to food. I remember feeling depressed and I would look at pasta and bread and feel terrible emotional. When I was diagnosed it was difficult to find good substitutes, however things have changed rapidly and now you can get nearly everything! I must admit I went a little crazy with ready made bread and cakes at first, but then I realised I could make them myself and homemade was even better! I have been experimenting for years with different recipes and now have my own little recipes book of tricks. I want to share what I have learnt to help those facing the big switch.
I will also be reviewing restaurants and books! I find it hard to eat out at times but I am discovering new and exciting places to eat. I hope you enjoy my blog and please feel free to leave a comment or email with any questions.
