Now I no longer work on Fridays, I thought it would be fun to try and expand on my enjoyment of cooking, hence the Friday Food Club.

Each Friday I'll try and find something new, different, challenging and exciting to prepare. I don't know where I'll go with this, but I'll try a little bit of everything, from baking to preserving and everything in between!

I'll try and report on how things went each week, both good and bad. If you want to join in and contribute to the club, just give me a shout. If you want to suggest something to try, please do so - whether or not you've already tried it. If you do suggest something it would be great if it was something new to you also - perhaps when you do attempt it, you'll submit a report on how it went.

Above all, enjoy what you're cooking and remember hygiene!
