Welcome back to me I say. I’ve been absent for a while as I had lots going on. I am back though with a whole lot of new information. First port of call in my travels is San Francisco. An absolutely amazing place and truly the culinary capital of America. In terms of food it has a lot to offer. I mean, for example, when you think of sourdough you [...]

I’m often asked about Biteclub by colleagues and other friends. Mostly people like to know the mechanics of it. Well yes, when you’re cooking for 13 people it can be hectic. There’s a menu to consider, emails to go out for last minute cancellations, seating arrangements etc…For me its about getting together with a group of friends, sharing a meal and a glass of wine and catching up on the [...]

I’m going to sidetrack for a moment again today to explain what is going on here at Souvlaki For The Soul. After my first meme I came across a website that pays bloggers for their opinions.
