Hi! I'm Amy, a 20-something retail store manager living out of home for the first time. I used to cook a little bit when I lived with my mum, but mainly for my boyfriend and his family when I stayed with them of a weekend.
Obviously that all changed when I moved out. For the first few months I cooked a few times a week, but would often get home from work too tired to do anything more energetic than grabbing something pre packaged out of the freezer and chucking it in the oven.
Fast forward to February 2010. New house, new suburb; two greengrocers, two supermarkets, numerous butchers and an Asian grocery store all within walking distance. Suddenly cooking is an absolute joy again. Don't get me wrong, I still have days where I can't be bothered to cook anything and will grab something out of the freezer for dinner: only now, it's usually something like vegetable soup or bolognese sauce that I've had the foresight to freeze for moments just like this.
Today, I'm starting Earl Grey Dreaming: my first food blog. Here I will share recipes, tips, tricks and recommendations, in the hope that it will inspire you, dear reader, to get into your kitchen and rediscover your love of cooking.
Here's a drink recipe to get you started (a little Dutch courage, if you need it).

30ml melon liqueur
30ml lychee syrup
15ml gin
15ml Stone's Green Ginger Wine
15ml mango syrup
