A good beginning…

is half the job done. At least that’s what we say in Holland. I don’t know if this is true, but I would like to make a good first impression. Let me introduce myself, my name is Joyce and I’m from Holland. For the last 14 months or so I have been living, working and studying in Glasgow, Scotland. I will be very sad to leave the city that has been named both the friendliest and most violent in Europe (both absolutely true), but ‘the real world’ is beckoning. Last month I handed in my dissertation on the brewing industry for the LL.M. Commercial Law at the University of Glasgow, next month the true job hunt back home in Holland will commence.

I am a total foodie. I love eating and I love cooking. I learned most of my skills from my mom, who is an excellent cook, but Jamie Oliver also has a lot to answer for. I was hooked on his shows from the very beginning, and he really has inspired me to try new things and to NOT BE AFRAID. In this blog I hope to share with you my favourite recipes and food experiences, good, bad and disastrous. I will tell you all about Dutch and Scottish food, but other cuisines will feature as well. There is really only one thing you will not find in here and that’s coriander (cilantro), hate the stuff and will always substitute it with flat leaf parsley. Where appropriate I shall mention this, so you can go ahead and ruin that dish as you please.
