Right so here we go. I am sure that many a blog has begun with something like this - something like "o my goodness, I can't believe I'm plunging into this" but the truth is I can't. This journey is SO exciting for me because I have recently discovered my passion for food but I have secretly known it for ages.. I just got a little lost. Right so how this little journey is going to work is... we have three contenders as the name of the blog suggests:
1. My darling flatmate Al (The Gay)
2. My lovely boyfriend Buff (The Guy)
3. Myself (The Girl)
All profiles to follow later haha.
We will be competing against one another on a weekly basis. Each contender gets to cook one dish per week and we all judge one another. There are some criteria and these include:
1. Price - no extra points for an expensive meal, in fact, the more reasonable a meal is, the more points you get.
2. Taste - no brainer
3. Time - if it takes ages to prepare then it better be damn worth it. The quicker the better.
4. Presentation - how awesome it looks.
5. Texture
6. Drink parings - wine, other drinks
7. Authenticity - if you invent the dish yourself you get more points
8. Availability of ingredients - how available the ingredients are in store or if you need to go to a speciality store.
We will be having guest judges to help us rating the food so friends are VERY welcome :) I will upload pics of the food and a summary of the results, plus a little report. In addition to this to spice things up, I will make my first attempts at writing restaurant reviews and recipe reviews.
Yum yum yum... so first through the gate tonight is Buffy with home made pizzas!!! Watch this space and I hope anyone out there who would be so kind as to read this will enjoy.
Delish!
Cool concept.. Good luck!
