Hi, my name’s Dave (as you’ve already guessed) and I’m a Briton in his 30s from Manchester in the Northwest of England, currently living in Western Scotland.

My blog principally focuses on British food, a subject that I’ve taken quite a comprehensive interest in. British food has a less than favourable global reputation which is frankly our own fault, but scratch beneath the surface and it’s not hard to find a very exciting world of traditional, regional cuisine. Many of these dishes have either been consigned to history or simply haven’t (yet) found fame over a wider area. But in an environment now where our farmers and producers are offering such quality and range, and excellent British chefs are rejuvenating and reinventing British classics, the future is looking very bright.

But this will be just one part of the site. Food from across the world remains a great interest of mine. Using this blog as my own food journel will hopefully encourage new experiences, better techniques and to generally mouth off at any given opportunity.

Hope you enjoy,

GDave
