About Me

I've been an avid fan of food and cooking as long as I can remember, learning so much from my mother and grandmother throughout the years! I actually find the whole process of preparing and cooking a great-tasting, healthy meal, quite therapeutic!! Cooking allows me to be as creative and adventureous as I like, and allows me forget about the realities of the world around me. There's something so rewarding about producing great food and sharing it with great friends, family and now with you too!!!

An opulently yellow omelette

This morning I awoke to beautiful sunshine and thought-what better way to emulate this rare and glorious sunny morning than to create a fantastically yellow omelette, using free range eggs, they give you that fantastic yellow colour that normal eggs just can't!!!

Therefore you will need;

- 3 free range eggs
- a drop of milk (about 1 teaspoon)
- a drop olive oil
- margarine (about 1/2 teaspoon)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 or 2 fresh chives (chopped)
- salt and pepper to taste

Whisk the eggs and milk. Heat a heavy-based frying pan with the margarine and oil. Add the egg mixture to hot pan, making sure it spreads evenly across the pan. Allow omelette to cook over a medium to high heat for 3-4 minutes. Add the cheese and chives to one half of the omelette and then fold over, cooking for a further few minutes over a very low heat, just until the cheese melts.
