I moved to Scotland in September 2009. I am slowly settling down (meaning my apartment is getting filled up with stuff that will just get in the way when i am moving again) but i miss good food. Let’s face it - Scotts do not eat well. I don’t like haggis or fish ‘n’ chips. And i cannot eat steak every day. I was using microwave and buying ready made food from Tesco at the beginning (to save time mainly) but this is not a healthy diet and you see the results on your body pretty quick. Gym alone won’t help.
I love italian food. I can make some (impepata di cozze is my speciality) but my skills are limited. Very.
After watching the movie Julie And Julia I got hooked up about cooking. And i realized that I could “kill two birds with one stone”. I could buy a recipe book about italian food and start cooking at home from scratch.
And so I did. I fired up Amazon and ordered Made In Italy. The book just arrived today and after a fast first glance I think I made a very nice purchase. The book looks fabulous! Now my aim is to cook something from it every weekend. I just need to find some quality grocery stores around here to buy the ingredients from. I am afraid that Tesco alone won’t cut it.
