About Food Category

[2009]

Anyone who knows me, knows that sooner or later there will be a food section somewhere on this site. I’m learning to cook and appreciate many Persian dishes. When I get better at it and I have more time, I’ll write some more. As an outsider who hasn’t been brought up with this cuisine (my palate is a tad more European), I rather like some of the dishes – not all, mind you! Some are unusual enough not to appeal, but there are plenty which do.

This category is about food I love, restaurant reviews, recipes, interesting food links and more. I have been cooking since my early 20s. Always willing to learn and experiment, my style is mostly European and Middle Eastern. No vegetarian or tofu for me thanks!

Favourite dishes include:

Veal Schnitzel with Bratkartoffel (fired potatoes & onions)
BBQ Lamb in olive oil, rosemary, lemon or lime rind, sea salt, cracked black pepper

Animas Insulin Pump

I've had an Animas Insulin Pump since June 2009. I absolutely love my pump and I love the wonderful people at Animas (AMSL Australia).

If you are even remotely thinking of getting an insulin pump, please feel free to contact me and ask me why I love mine and what a huge difference it's made to my life.

There are also lots of posts here to give you similar information.
