The Challenge

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with a little embarrassment that i admit that even I, the most food passionate of them all, sometimes fall into the rut of making the same old food. Its always delicious and its always comforting, but creativity inspires passion and so i have set myself a challenge.
Once a week i must browse my vast collection of cookbooks (and magazines, and oh, the internet) and find a recipe that i have never cooked before. I will then write of my experience right here, in this very spot and you too can experience as I create, taste, seduce and (gasp) screw up through new and exciting recipes.
My taste buds are sharp, my fridge is stocked, my oven is (alas) shite and i am ready for anything...
And without further ado i am off to try my first new recipe, a classic. I have a whole chicken simmering away as we speak...

P.S. If you have an interesting recipe you think i have never cooked before email me on cheftash@rocketmail.com and i will give it a whirl...

P.P.S. My days off are normally wednesday and thursday so that i most likely when i will be updating....
