Hello and thanks for stopping by!
I am Angela: a mom, food blogger, Content Account Manager, and just so much more that can’t be confined or described by words. I hope that My food memoirs will help conjure some of the beautiful almost forgotten memories you have and nudge you into the kitchen to express your feelings.
Where am I and what do I? I live in sunny Malta where I absolutely recommend you visit. And when I am not obsessing about what to cook and eat I work full-time as a Content Account Manager.
Was I always ‘in love’ with the art of cooking? No, I mostly had my head in the clouds, preoccupied with travel and novels. I used to be your typical romantic… No- wait, I think that part of me still lives 🙂
Where am I from and where have I been? I am from Kenya and moved to Europe which now seems like decades ago! I’ve had the opportunity to travel quite a lot and lived in Italy, Germany, Manchester-UK, and currently living in Malta. I believe the country-hopping if I can call it that, introduced me to a whole new world related to food. And now all I want to do is sample this and that or watch people cook- I could do this all day!!!
What food can I not get enough of? Pizza hands down! Although it may fluctuate between that and fried foods! Give me pizza fritta, arancini or chocolate cake.
What do you eat when watching movies? Frosties without milk, are a fantastic substitute for popcorn! Though it can get a little loud between each crunching mouthful 🙂
What inspired me down this path? Someone dear to me was hungry after one too many. And there was nothing in the fridge but a loaf of white bread on the kitchen counter. So I made them fried bread well … there is more to the story but that’s how it started.
What inspired me to love preparing food was the look in their eyes as they ate. It was something so simple and yet there we were so happy at that moment. Since then, I want to spread that feeling and see that look of joy as much as I can.
Do I get tired of cooking? Oh yes, which is why there are quite a few quick recipes. For those moments when you know, you must make something but do not want to toil in the kitchen for hours on end.
And when I am not cooking what am I doing? Goofing around with my daughters, or probably binge-watching Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown or Maeve O’Meara’s Food Sarafi. Let’s not forget the pile high of Paulo Coelho collection that I will get to at some point when I’m not thinking of what to make for dinner.
So, stick around, and let’s explore this ever-evolving world of delicious recipes together.
Oh, and thanks for stopping by 🙂
