Where will my taste buds take me next: Homemade spaghetti and meatballs

Welcome to my food blog! If you love food and travelling, then you have come to the right place!

I will start with a little introduction about me.

Oh! How I love food! I'm like the rat in ratatouille. I like cooking as well even though I'm average at best. I'm one of those people whose mood depends on a full satisfied stomach. When I lived in Tokyo, Japan I had no money and some days I ate just rice! I ended up sobbing like a baby and asking my bf, at the time, to buy me a bento box. If I eat my favourite food, you're sure to see me in a happy mood.

So here I am putting my love of food in a blog. I first saw my friend doing a food blog, then I read Julie and Julia. To be honest, I didn't get passed page 100 as the author seemed a bit of a cow.

In this blog, I will talk about different foods from around the world and you will read about my (maybe awful) attempt to make some of them. Enjoy! ^^
