I like food. I like eating food; I like sharing food; and I like cooking food: for myself, for my family and friends, for anyone who will come share it with me. I like cooking new foods and recipes; I like cooking old familiar favourites; and I like putting new twists on old recipes and finding new things to do with known ingredients. This is a record of some experiments and experiences. Enjoy!

As I mentioned in the Tangerine Marmalade recipe, I want to take advantage of the citrus season to make a bunch of different marmalades....
