about me
just to give you an idea of who’s bitchin’kitchen this is - my name is holly and i love all aspects of food! i love the taste, i love preparing it, i love sharing it, i love talking (or typing) about it, i love the social aspect that surrounds it, and i love drinking good wine with it!
my mum is largely to blame/thank for my food obsession - once a cooking teacher, always a great home entertainer, and now the owner of a deli cafe in toowong, she always involved my sister and i in the kitchen - and the rest is history.
we have all developed our own individual cooking styles - i love cooking old favourites or traditional meals but with my own variations, or using new found recipes as a base for a new idea and winging it.
it is not as much fun though, if you don’t have someone to cook with or share the final product with. i disagree with the saying ‘too many hands spoil the broth’ (or is it a stew or a brew?) - the best meals are created with lots of hands, fresh ideas, music and good wine. (they usually also help with the washing up - the hands that is - not necessarily the wine!!)
in terms of what i hope to achieve with this blog - i want to share my food ideas and photos with other interested foodies - and also give a break to any of my friends who are probably tired of just how excited i am about (insert any new food i have discovered / any successful meal i have recently cooked here.)
i also want it to be a place where people can find some new inspiration and ideas for their next meal, and where they can ask me or any other readers, food related questions / for advice.
finally, i want to share all of my food related experiences with others - whether that be at a local cafe, at a friend’s house for dinner or at the markets.
please share any comments / suggestions you have on my blog - i look forward to reading them.
holly (the bitch in my’bitchin’kitchen).
