Introducing the Totally Fabulous Moo Moo Kane

Hi everyone,

Well, it is the first post for my new blog...how nerve-wracking is that...the pressure...if I don't make this interesting then no one will ever read it again!

So, do I entice you with my amazing knowledge and wisdom of food? Or dazzle you with my fantastic sense of humour? Or woo you with my intelligent vocabulary and amazing sentence structure. Haha, if only I could offer those 3 as readily as I might like to...never mind, I think I will just write from my heart and hope some of you like it.

So, I am guessing the first question is..."Why on earth did you choose such a weird name for your blog? I would love to tell you it has a strong link to my past, and evokes wonderful, warm, fuzzy feelings of cooking with my mum or grandma, but all of that would just be a big fat lie. Basically the name just jumped into my head when I decided to write the blog, and I decided it would be absurd to ignore a name that was so incredibly weird, yet featured so strongly in my thoughts. Besides, the alternative was "Lisa's Cooking Journey" or something similarly boring so I think Moo Moo will provide a far more interesting alternative! To be honest, I don't even know quite who (or what) Moo Moo Kane is yet, but I think we will discover more about her (or him) as we take the journey!

Which brings me to the second question...what is the journey? Well, again, not really sure...I just know that I love food and I love writing, so I want to try bringing them the two together and see how it goes. What I can say is that I love learning and trying new dishes, I will cook almost anything and I would love to share my experiences with anyone who wants to listen. Let's hope that is enough!

I think the structure of it all will evolve over time but, for now, I will aim to write up one semi-fancy recipe, one recipe suitable for the whole family and a general hotch potch of reviews, food thoughts etc. each week. Having said that, I am a busy mum so might not always achieve this...I can only promise to try!

So, let's get onto the real stuff, let the adventures begin...welcome to the world of Moo Moo Kane!
