Hello!

Hi and thanks for following my blog!  I thought I should introduce myself a little before launching into foody things.

I'm Susie and I live in Arbroath, on the east coast of Scotland.  I'm in my late 20s but only until July. ;)  I live with my partner of 8 years Dave, and our two beautiful daughters Roxie, 7 and Connie, 3.

I became a stay at home mum (SAHM) when I had Roxie (I had previously been a university student), and more recently I launched my own internet business called Pot of Gold Crafts, I sell many items all handmade by myself.  As well as that I have many hobbies, I like to do all the crafts for the business for myself too and I also help with costumes in a local theatre club.  I have also been undertaking a BA degree with the Open University although I have been on a break from that for just over a year until I can magic up some more free time to study in.

So yeah, I'm a pretty busy person, add my addictions to playing computer games such as The Sims, and some housework now and again and it's amazing we even have time to eat.

But cooking is definitely such a fun thing for me, I'm obsessed with trying new things, trying to invent things and just making people happy with food.

So that's what One Woman, One Kitchen is all about.  I'll be posting some of my own concoctions, some from other sites, books or magazines that I've tried out and enjoyed and also look out for reviews of cookbooks, magazines and even just new cooking products or kitchen gadgets (another obsession of mine).  And hopefully lots of yummy looking photos too.

I hope you can all find something you love from my blog, I undertake a variety of different cooking styles, from baking things from scratch, to total invention, to "cheating" with boxes and packets and even on the busier days "just throw in the oven" meals (although I'm sure you don't need any instructions on how to do those) and all the way up to the weird and wonderful and a variety of foods that you wouldn't be ashamed to serve at a dinner party.

So sit back and enjoy and I hope you find some inspiration to give at least a few things a shot yourself as well.
