That Little Something Extra

In today's society where stress levels are on the rise and everyone needs everything done immediately, it seems that less people are taking the time to sit back and really enjoy the little things in life, those things that put a smile on your face.

As a recent university graduate and newly-minted administrative underling, I am often guilty of coasting through my day wanting things that are quick and easy (especially when it comes to my food.) But when I do cook, I find myself doing it in a large way, trying new styles and new dishes. These experiments are just as often disasters as they are successful but I do usually find a flavour or recipe that becomes a permanent part of my cooking repertoire, while picking up a trick or two along the way.

This blog will be a platform for me to share my favourite things, be it a movie, book or recipe I discovered. Of course it is all a matter of opinion, but I hope favourites of mine become favourites of yours.

The saying goes that sharing is sorrow halved, and so it stands to reason that sharing is also pleasure doubled. So please sit back, enjoy, and discover that little something extra...
