1st blog!

Right, so this is my first time writing a blog... ever. So, I'm not too sure where to start but I'd say it'd be good to let you know that this will be a cooking blog, with the odd random post about my pet budgie (Siris)! My name is Stephen Conlan and I like to think that I can cook :P


Basically I'm going to scour the Internet and any cookbooks that I can get my hands on, to give you the best and most fool-proof, tried and tested recipes that I can find. I'll also throw in a few of my own original recipes, which i plan to have a lot more of in the future. I'm seventeen now and about to do my leaving cert. My aim is to get up at least one recipe, post or link every two weeks and for all of the special occasions, but I am going to apologise in advance if they're not regular because I'm probably going to be getting pretty stressed out come June and the big exams :/


It doesn't matter how good (or bad!) you are at cooking, I can guarantee you that, with these recipes, you can go from burning a hole in your kitchen table (when trying to make popcorn!) to producing delicious, good-looking and sometimes even healthy food.


The recipes that I put up will all be easy to follow, with pictures to guide you every step of the way.

However, I do think that it's really important to note that these recipes aren't just instructions for you to follow, they're more like guidelines! The recipes are all going to work out perfectly the way they are but if you don't like a certain ingredient or you think that trying something different would be nicer, don't be afraid to mess around! 

 Let the recipe be an inspiration and you might surprise yourself!

I'll be putting up my first recipe during the week, so watch this space! (and subscribe :P)
