Welcome to A Simple Thing Called Food. after many attempt at blogging, i found myself loosing interest very quickly, I realized that I wasn't writing about things that really matter to me on a daily basis. I love food, everything about food, I'm also a photographer and the two passion together makes for a great hobby. I started to write a recipe book about a year ago for family and friends to feel more connected even if we are miles apart. I thought maybe other people who love food as much as I do may also like this blog. so feel free to read or try new recipes, post comments on your results and tell me what your favorite thing is.
