An Introductory Post: My Love Affair With Food

Dear Vibe, or anyone else to whom it may concern,

I love food. This, of course, may be obvious from the very nature of this blog. However, I still feel that it needs to be addressed. Food is, and has always been a central part of my life.

Although food was always a part of my life, our true love affair started after I moved to Denmark. I had always loved good food, but I had never dabbled in cooking before we moved. It started with some innocent baking. With the help of cheap cookbooks from the grocery store, and websites such as the fantastic http://cupcakeblog.com/.

My life started to become dotted with brownies, cookies, cupcakes, pies and cakes. Seeing the joy that it brought not only to me, but also to my family and friends gave me so much joy.

As most things do, however, my hobby of baking began to evolve. The older I got, the more I started to cook food (yes, real food, not just cakes) for my family and myself. With recipes or without, I had plenty of successes and failures, and I became frustrated more than enough times, but none of it ever lessened the simple joy that cooking brought to me

I started to notice how much both me and my family appreciated a home cooked meal, and how happy it made us all. In a way, cooking for someone is such an intimate thing to do. You are creating something so vital to human existence, and doing it, to the best of your ability, out of devotion.

A good meal brings people together like nothing I have ever experienced. That in itself, makes all the difficulty, failures and frustration completely worth it. So, I suppose what I am trying to say is that I hope for this blog to be an extension of our mission to bring joy to ourselves, and to those dear to us by one of the most universal and important things we know: food.

Wherever you are, I hope you are eating well.

Love,

Siobhan
