The Magic Begins ...

Yesterday, I made a very exciting purchase. Today I am finding it very hard to contain my excitement and anticipation, for there can be very few things in a woman's life that equal the joy of purchasing their first Magimix food processor! I understand that many women will disagree with this statement, but for me, it fills me with unrivaled enthusiasm and delight!

I should introduce myself before we begin, my name is Dominique and I live in Suffolk with my husband and 3 children. Life is busy as you would expect with and 8 year old and 2 children aged 2 and under. The last few years seemed to have passed in a hazy blur amidst a mountain of nappies and a stream of sleepless nights.

Understandably cooking has taken a back seat in my priorities and until recently my repertoire of family meals consisted of spaghetti bolognaise, salmon and veg and the occasional shepherd's pie. Very rarely did any of my meals consist of more than 4 ingredients and there hasn't been a fresh herb or exotic spice in sight.

I have no idea why this attitude has suddenly changed but it has, and I intend to nurture and develop it to the best of my abilities and hopefully the benefit of me and my family. I hope that you will enjoy sharing my journey and maybe learn something along the way, if not about cooking then about me!
