I am a Journalism student at City University and I am passionate about food; from its origins and production, to the moment it is served on a plate ready to be enjoyed.

I have a cooking column called Food on Fridays that I write weekly for the student’s union website City Online and also write restaurant reviews for the new WUWO Magazine.

Photography is one of my passions and I adore travelling so whenever possible, I search and snap amazing edible things and sometimes the odd ugly ones as well.  Especially if I am travelling as local flavours are always the best.

It has been more than three years since I started growing vegetables. It all started when I couldn’t get a job. Living in a shared house comes with its downsides but it definitely has its perks.

One of them: I have a massive garden. A garden that no one ever really cared for, and with plenty of time on my hands, my hyperactive mind began to think of the possibilities.

After restoring the old greenhouse and digging a veggie patch at the back, I started doing a lot of research about how to develop an allotment and with a many hours of hard work everything started blooming.

So what now?

Now I am starting this blog to share my passion and to encourage you to be more connected with the food you munch on every day.

Thank you for stopping by,

Maria
