Biography

Interestingly I was a fussy eater until I left home for university and had to cook for myself. Ever since then I was hooked. I love cooking (so much so that my wife doesn't get a chance to cook), experimenting with new techniques, finding out the origin of recipes and most of all looking for new and exotic tastes.

The best burger in Houston – Bubba’s Buffalo Burger

It has been a little while since I’ve posted anything on ‘We are not foodies‘, but I have just moved from Houston, Texas to Copenhagen, Denmark, and over the last couple of months I’ve been busy preparing for the move, as well as a quick trip to Mexico. However I’m not sure why Bill has …
