Hello world!

Hi everyone! welcome to my blog ‘Confessions of a Cooking Addict’ My love of cooking has developed into a small addiction, I cook every moment I have free time. My addiction started when I would visit my Aunties house at Christmas time and she would present our family with a smorgasbord of food that she had prepared all herself. The excitement of choice and the deliciousness of all her food made Christmas and quickly became the reason I loved it so much. I started to cook because I loved to eat and soon it developed into loving seeing other people get excited and enjoy food. Food became a way to help people and preparing delicious spreads has become a passion and I do it every chance I get. People do not understand how I can come home from work and then spend all night in the kitchen but to me its a stress relief and I have learnt that people who do not love cooking will never understand. This blog will feature all types of cooking from putting on a spread for the family, to entertaining your friends and even to help the people who dislike cooking meals that are simple and delicious. I will also write a post about the importance of staples! every pantry and fridge will need these ingredients as well as simple saving tricks I have picked up during my time as a university student!
