my toughest critics

so i thought i should introduce you to the people who have either helped me in the kitchen, whether that be by inspiring a recipe, giving me advice or (usually) constructive criticism, helping me to create my blog, or making my creations disappear!

josh

jmr

josh does pretty much all of the above.  he is the one who helped me to setup my domain name and blog (although i am pretty much on my own there now as he tends to get easily bored ;) ). josh helps me in the kitchen with prep, cooking, eating and cleaning and also takes alot of the photos. he is a pro at making fresh pizza and pasta.

laurie

laurie & i

laurie, otherwise known as frenchie, has the same passion for food as i do.  we have cooked up some storms in the kitchen together, and laurie has shared some fantastic french recipes with me and my family, some of which now make regular appearances at mum’s deli, or on the dinner table.  laurie and i worked together at the deli, and she is always there to help out in the kitchen at any family events (we call her our french maid hehe).

nicola

nic & i

nicola likes to bake - mainly sweet things - and she is damn good at it too! nic is always there to lend a helping hand in the kitchen.  but most of the time, you can find her standing in her designated kitchen spot, supervising from afar and keeping me entertained. she is a great food critic (often gives me and my food more credit than i/it deserve/s) and is my’bitchin’kitchen’s number 1 fan :) .
