The restaurant where I was working had to close in 2020 due to restrictions imposed by the UK government during the COVID pandemic. I had always been passionate about food, and the lockdown period gave me time to start putting my website together.
I also included a techniques section ("Basics" for the novice cook) full of useful tips and general information. Now I’m back at work full time, I’ve not had as much time to add new recipes. However, I know that my website still gets visited daily, so I will strive to add new recipes as and when I can. I particularly want to add to the list of vegetarian dishes, Thai street food dishes, and also would like to add a section on super-salads. Watch this space ! Tan Mackay |
Apart from filling my newly found spare time with something I was enthusiastic about, I was also motivated by creating basic but wholesome recipes for a small number of friends who were novice cooks. These friends had, around that time, found themselves cooking for just one person, either having lost their partners, or, in one case, their partner had been transferred to a care home. Therefore, I initially focused on easy, one pot dishes that lent themselves to batch cooking, for example, one meal for tonight and a few meals to go in the freezer for a later date.
