I love to cook, i am so passionate about it, i sometimes wake up and the first thing i think of is what i am going to cook tonight!! i have to have a full fridge at all times and i love to have good wines in my house...i don't like, but have to go to, the gym so i don't turn into a ten tonne tessy as i love to eat, I love to horse-ride (having owned a horse for 5 years when I was younger), i like to travel (parents own a travel company so get to do it lots), I like walking (proper buy a map and get lost kind of walking), I like learning about other cultures (did anthropology / politics as a degree and specialised in fiji)..... i like politics and my friends will tell you i am quite opinionated, most of all i like to learn new things... i lived in spain for a year (madrid), where i learnt spanish and fell in love with the country... so I guess anything spanish as well!!! love travelling and been to places such as borneo, kuala lumpur, fiji, mexico, south africa, america, vancouver, and loads of places in europe....
passionate people who make me smile / grimace - either way ..... actually had an influx of those that make me grimace so smilers only please!
very eclectic taste in music - from marilyn manson to glen campbell
anything with the following actors: - Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, and of course the girl's cheese - Dirty Dancing etc
I own about 700 books so would be ridiculous to list what i read!!! Favourite at moment is James Patterson and any chef's books
My friends (those who inspire me are especially heroic in my mind) and the person who first created Rioja!!! ..... anyone who can cook and do it with passion.... the author of the Kitchen Confidential who warned me never to eat seafood on a monday or order from the specials menu in a restaurant at the weekend, and anyone who is capable of being open and kind.... i don't want to say famous people as the people I tend to have as friends are all heroic in their own little ways....
