After being made redundant two years ago, I was forced into the role of reluctant housedad to our three children, aged 10, 8 and 5, while my wife went out to work.
Since then, I’ve juggled a working-from-home career as a freelance writer with bringing up our kids. But the best thing about my new life is it has allowed me to follow my passion as a cook.
My blog started as a parenting blog but over the last few months it has become more and more dedicated to food. I post daily recipes, which I develop, write and photograph myself, in my blog’s Recipe Shed category.
I’m keen to develop this foodie side even more and so would welcome the opportunity to review new food products, kitchen gadgets and – especially – new and unusual cooking ingredients.
I have written for a variety of publications, including the Daily Mail, Good Housekeeping and Parentdish and I would welcome writing or editing commissions, particularly food, lifestyle and human interest-related.
