The first of a long list...

I have always wanted my own blog, but work and family commitments have always meant I did not have the time of day!I just turned 25 this month, am French, working as a jurist in a Law Firm in Spain, married to a Londonner...all these origins, nationalities and placed have helped me develop what now makes me, and my family, feels this happy feeling in our stomach (litteraly!)...food!
When I was studying in Southern France, I was quite frankly a helpless cook, prefering restaurants and readymade meals over a homemade dish with a smell to make you want more and more...
I have since then discovered the joy of cooking, of discovering new tastes, smells, colours, textures...my favorite of all times being sweet things (especially cupcakes)!
We have been in Southern France for the past two weeks, for our summer holidays and I can confess that I have cooked almost non stop! What a bliss!
Last week end one of my two best friends, Cloé, who along with my other BF Virginie will be mentionned quite a lot in theblog I guess, came to visit to celebrate my B-day. We prepared the finger food for the party and our thirty something guests in a bit less than two days. Cloé and I become one in the kitchen, sharing the same passion and tastes. We unfortunately did not take many pictures of the progress not the finished work, but I owe t post the ones we have.

Today is the day before the end of the holidays, and for the first time in the ast fifteen days, the sky is grey and the weather sad...to cheer myself up I have decided to make homemade donuts (a wink to my half canadian mother) and maybe a choolate cake which i will take to my BF Virginie's tomorrow...
