I've been meaning to get around to creating this thread in a while. I'm a student that loves food. I love to spend money on food, sourcing fresh and interesting ingredients wherever I can to conjure up some tasty dishes. I spend about £50 a week on average on ingredients. Sometimes less, often more. I am firm believer that everybody should take the time to learn how to cook. It's an enjoyable life skill and if you're curious and adventurous, opens you up to new dishes and flavours that you'd otherwise be missing out on.
The purpose of this blog is to document what I cook and hopefully give/receive tips on general cooking and maybe inspire some to learn themselves. I cook a variety of cuisines from all over the world.
I'll also take requests, if you have a dish you particularly enjoy making, post a recipe and I'll give it a go. I'll start off with simpler, easier dishes and then start to showcase some longer, more complicated dishes at the weekend.
TSRians, I present to you...

Nasi Goreng is an Indonesian dish and it's REALLY hard to make from scratch. It takes a lot of ingredients and planning so I'll do this some point over the weekend.
Duck with 5spice marinade and spring onion (This one is complicated and very expensive - I've never attempted it so I hope I get it right)
