Food nobody (n.) An unknown foodie. A person who is passionate about the culinary arts but doesn't have a book published, does not have a celebrity chef as a friend, has never appeared in a food show, does not own a deli/restaurant/cafe, and has never been interviewed in a food-related capacity.
Me? My love of food has developed like the slow burn of a killer chilli posing as a meek capsicum. Inspiration struck when I left home for varsity, and started to cook for myself and others. I was very aware of entering an exciting cosmos of new tastes and smells and recipes.
Nowadays, my passion for food is an all-consuming fire, and I'm determined to get a book out one day. It would pay homage to my dead grandmother - a fabulous and inspiring cook, and a spiritual journey to a country I will always call home - South Africa.
I continue to live abroad and may still do so for many years to come (I’ve married a Swede), and that just adds a whole smorgasbord of new delights to my culinary universe.
