The Epic First Post

Ever since I can remember I've had an interest in the way food comes together to create a masterpiece in your mouth. I grew up eating the most delicious meals, my mum always baked beautiful breads and cakes and whenever we got in from school, there was always a hearty bowl of steaming homemade soup waiting for us to gobble up. Food has always been a big part of our family, whenever we visited my grannies and great aunts, the smells of freshly baked brown soda bread would go straight to our hungry tummies.

I can't resist the temptations of creating new dishes and the one thing I love is seeing people enjoying good food and putting a smile on someone's face. I always get given out to because I'm so bossy in the kitchen and everyone wants to help but the only help I want is to see clean plates after a big feed.

My sister was the one who convinced me to set up Spuds and Cheddar and from the name you can guess what my two favourite foods are!! She is the guinea pig to many of my dishes and god bless her she's tried many a concoction!


When I was in secondary school, I studied Home Economics and my love of food only grew ever more, I had amazing teachers who taught me the secrets to a deliciously naughtie chocolate cake and how to woo anybody with a saucy number.

I love the aromas food brings to us and the hunger it creates within us. Coming home after a long day and whizzing up something homemade and full of fresh herbs and spices makes the end of my day so much brighter, I always go to bed a happy camper with a happy tummy!!

And knowing only too well how we all like to indulge, I do it all the time :) I thought that I would share the recipes that I've come across and added my own little touches to over the past few years, every attempt is made to make theses dishes as healthy but as scrumptious as they can be. There's something for everybody, from the dedicated veggie to the meaty maestro, so tuck in and enjoy every last bite!!!
