What you should probably know about me before reading on, is I relish many things and I love a little double entendre now and again.
I had intended to start this blog with my first attempt at re-creating my Mum's amazing tomato relish. However somewhere between our wedding in Feb, and planning our upcoming honeymoon to South America my best intentions were waylaid (you should also probably know this is not unusual for me). Instead, I am starting this blog at the eleventh hour, 2 days before we depart... not unusual for me either. I thought instead perhaps I could make something delicious using mum's chutney, however when I found it nestled in the fridge, to my despair the jar was bare.
So here is my story. I am a 30 year old nurse who relishes many things - my family, my friends, cooking, travel, camping, and wine among them. We are about to embark on what will be the trip of a lifetime for me and my new husband. We are off for 8 weeks travelling through Argentina, Chile, Peru and Bolivia and are currently full of excitement, anxiety, anticipation, stress and a little exhaustion.
While we are planning a great mix of hiking, sightseeing, exploring and adventure, what I am secretly longing for is the food.
I really love food. I love to cook it, to eat it, to look at it, to talk about it. I relish it.
My plan is to share with you the culinary delicacies and disasters our adventure has in store for us. I can not promise to be consistent, but I will endeavour to be honest and colourful in my musings regarding our degustations abroad.
I hope you will share them with me.
