I’m Danielle.
I’m a writer, a tv producer, and a great lover of food.
I enjoy cooking for my family and friends and I hope to share that with you. What I really love is eating great food, so cooking became a necessity for me and now it is part of my…..well, I’d like to say soul but it’s more like stomach.
My mother is one of my biggest cooking inspirations, in fact, she’s one of my biggest life inspirations. We’ll get to her another day.
My plan is to alternate between food ideas and musings, so if you love one more than the other you never have too long to wait to be satisfied.
I am a wife, a mother, a photographer and a person who finds it easy to laugh at herself – in no particular order.
I love being a mother. Something happened the day my son was born and my capacity for love grew through the roof. I never realised your heart could exist outside your body, but it does. It runs around making siren noises in the shape of a little man named Dexter. I love watching my husband parent. He’s really good at it and it makes me love him all the more. We’re about to do it again, with the expectant birth of our second child merely weeks away now. I’m looking forward to seeing how big my heart can grow before it simply bursts.
So, without further ado, I welcome to you to the contents of my head…..and my pantry. I hope you enjoy the ride.
Feel free to let me know your thoughts. I’d love this to be an exchange and not purely voyeuristic on your behalf…..but if just you like to watch, please be my guest.
Wow! What an intelligent, well written, interesting blog, Danni ! Good for you. Keep those yummy Steller/Colley Recipes a-comin’ please. Yummo!
Lots of love, Lyn Xxx
I love your description of your heart existing outside your body, I can remember not being able to comprehend how much room there was in that small organ. Love just fills you up!
….and keeps on growing!!! Most days
“I’m looking forward to seeing how big my heart can grow before it simply bursts.” Beautiful. Thanks for visiting my site. I love your blog.

Thank you for stopping by and liking my blog post Danielle, I am touched. Truly.
Ever since my early parenting days (late 80s – early 90s) back in Russia, I am not a big fan of cooking (to put it mildly) – there were no other options, I simply had to cook. Now I just do not have time to cook. But admire that cooking passion in others. I do.
Take a lot of pictures of everything and everyone, one day I will show you what you can do with them. When you are curious enough.
Way to build suspense, Larissa…. Most intriguing!
Hi Danielle, how times change! I remember our night at, I think it was the Thai Dicq Shack in Jersey, with Emerson and Rebecca. Good times..
?
Now I’m also a mother of two and since I stopped working after our second girl 7 months ago into cooking. So looking forward to trying out some of your recipes, as they look delicious! Any coming up with a Dutch influence
Ha, I made erwten soep once and I got such terrible wind I vowed never to do it again!!! There’s a Dutch Ginger Cake on here and that’s ridiculously yummy.
Congratulations on your family. I do hear your news when I catch up with Bex.
Thanks for letting me know you’re dropped by. I do love when people let me know they’ve checked it out.
Take care xxx
