Hi all,

I am new on this site, just joined.

I'm from England, a single parent of three kids and divorced. I love
cooking and swapping recipes from all over the world.

My favourite cuisines are Moroccan, Spanish, Italian, some American
and Japanese. I thrive and live off fruit smoothies. This is a
healthy pick me up when I'm feeling rather lethargic or just generally
tired. If it's chilled beforehand it tastes even better!

The only things I dislike is prunes, dates, figs, bamboo shoots and
pickles.

I hope I will enjoy being a part of this group!

Sizzler.

Welcome, sizzler. I for one, promise not to post any recipes that
include bamboo shoots, pickles and prunes. Hmmmm. ;-)

Hi Sizzler,
what part of UK are you in? I'm in Barnsley. This is a really great group
for all sorts of advice (some of it a little uncalled for! ; ) )
Most are really friendly and extremely helpful especially with UK/USA
conversions and what to use if products are not available here in UK. Google
for Barbs rhubarb custard cake if you want to try something really terific
and unusual for the UK!
The group is also really endertaining at times, and I find myself checking
in several times a day! The RFC web site is also a great source of info,
both about cooking and personal. Also the cdhat channel is very popular, but
having a 5 year old, I rarely get the chance to log in!
I don't feel I'm in a position to say 'welcome', as I'm not a great
contributor but the regulars are so great I'm sure they won't mind me
extending the thoughts!

Hi Sarah,

I'm from Bournemouth, Dorset near the seaside and nice clean sea
air. I like unusual foods sometimes and I find cuisines from around
the world very interesting.

Don't worry, it shouldn't effect your cooking.

Lemme know if you like American Peanut Butter Pinwheels! I've got that
covered.

Tell us more of this nectar you thrive from...
Do the juices in it come from concentrate? if they do, you are going
to be gray headed way before your time.

What's wrong with a good crispy pickle?

The South Coast is indeed a beautiful place.
My favourite take out food is chinese, but I don't eat much take out at all.
I live with my husband Gary and young son. Gary has so far lost 3 stone
since May, and so most of our meals have a healthy slant to them, (low fat
and plenty of vegetables), Son is a picky eater and mainly eats meat and
bread ( I try and bake my own a couple of times a week). I must admit I
prefer baking to cooking when it comes to leisure time. At the moment I work
nights (I'm a nurse) and so we eat well when I'm week off, and not so well
the week I'm working!
I usually bake something experimental to take to work on the Monday night,
mainly with good results. Cheese cakes are a favourite, and a little
unwelcome at home at the moment! I'm considering an Oreo cheese cake for
Monday night, but my mind isn't made up yet.
