I’m a university student who’s moving from the cushy life of self-catered accommodation to the frightful reality of a real house and, most significantly, home cooking. Watch me document my attempts at easy, cheap, tasty and (mostly) healthy cooking through my blog posts and recipes. I want this blog to become my own personal recipe book – and you are most welcome to share it.
Update: I’m currently living and working in Palma, Mallorca (on my year abroad) so stick around for some foreign-inspired cooking!
Fun with no money 
I think I’ve gone through all your posts (LOL), but don’t worry Rome was not built in a day. Have a lovely day!

Hope you have a great study year!! We lived in Spain for 12 years a while back (we’re from California) and so miss the people and culture there (not to mention the food!). Hope is all goes so well!

Your gravatar mentioned cooking and cats, but not together. I have stepped out of the room before only to return and find one of the cats stealing the sizzling bacon right outta the pan. You are right, they do NOT go together!
Your recipes are so much better than my 21 varieties of Ramen Noodles! Thanks for sharing and best of luck with school and your blog!

I didn’t know cats could have a taste for bacon, mine is definitely more likely to be stealing some fish or milk/cream, quite unoriginal really! Thanks very much for your lovely comment, and thanks for checking out my blog! 🙂
