This blog

Hi!

The reason I decided to create this blog, initially, was completely different. I wanted to make it a kind of "forum" to discuss women's issues. But I ended up not having time to work on the original idea.
Now, that I have time to dedicate more to my hobbies, I thought about this blog again ... and, why not to make it about one of my favorite hobbies?
Cooking wasn't my favorite hobby. I didn't even consider it a hobby. But, as time went by, and as my Au Pair life was getting more and more "still", I started to have fun in the kitchen. Not that I didn't like it before - I did, but it was just something minor, that didn't have the status of "hobby". In Brazil, I had so many things to do that I couldn't give myself the luxury of cooking for the simple sake of it ( I cooked because I had to eat....lol).
Then, here, I started having so much free time that I decided to take my time and cook something a little special, a little better. And one thing led to the other. Now I have a lot of fun not only trying to do any recipe that crosses my eyes but also trying new things, creating dressings (and trying to discover the ingredients and how to make the ones I have in restaurans by using their smell and taste)...

So now I am going to post here some of my experiences in the kitchen. The good ones, of course.

Enjoy and bon appetit!
