INTRODUCTION

Welcome to The city kitchen blog. In time we hope to recreate recipes of old and post the new.
I have a passion for the culinary world, whether it be recipes or their execution, food related issues, restaurants and of course eating.

Sometimes my food is rustic, traditional, occasionally classic, but always enjoyable.
I like to play in the kitchen, and have an interest in the science behind the cooking, but only in a practical sense.
Most of the time we stick to practical, why? Because it works.

At present, in this diminishing financial climate, plus the need to be more aware of humane issues surrounding our larder, we still need to feed ourselves,familys,friends and loved ones.
At home this is what we do. By trying our hardest to minimize our waste, buying sensibly with the need to maintain a healthy unprocessed robust diet, that we enjoy and gain pleasure from. Surely if you are here reading this,you share our views, if you are here by mistake take a minute to read our thoughts and recipes.
At present i have certain goals, some achievable, some more difficult. In a perfect world we would shop at farmers markets, buy from independent sources, but we all know the world is not perfect, but every little change no matter how subtle whether it be a boycott of caged hens and chickens, or the odd item that is organic,it is all positive.
On recent trips to the stores,i still see trolleys laden with junk, full to the brim, with a hefty price tag to match,but these super shoppers stand in the aisles bemoaning the price hikes, without realising that a change of eating habits could mean a considerable saving to health and pocket.

I will endeavour to change my ways, will you?
