About Category "Food & Drink"

The wonderful world of food and drink, and my place in it.

As more people are starting to ask for culinary advice, I would like to point out that I am neither a chef, nor a dietician - just an enthusiastic amateur. I will answer questions as I can and will most likely post questions and answers as an article here, on this blog. Advice is given, however, without warranty or implied fitness for purpose, blah, blah. So there, and bon apetit!
