Welcome to my Steve Cook’s food and recipe blog where I get to share some of my favourite recipes, cooking methods, culinary knowledge and easy-to-follow instruction videos on how to prepare and cook great recipes at home.

I am a husband and a father to 2 beautiful children, (Andy & Sam) and of course, our family is not complete without our 2 cats (Monty & Tiger) and our 2 Yorkshire Terriers, (Daisy & Jack).

Starting out in Scotland as a young pot washer before progressing through the ranks and transferring to the Midlands to become a young trainee chef with a large Midland-based restaurant chain, it’s fair to say that I had an absolute passion for cooking and recipe development..

Although I later took a very different career path as a refrigeration and air conditioning engineer, I never lost my passion for food and love to spend most of my spare time cooking for my family and sharing my recipes with my friends around the dinner table at our regular get-togethers.

On a personal note, for many years I have struggled with my weight and have spent much of my adult life fairly overweight. Having tried many types of diets over the years, I have settled with a local Slimming World group and have received fantastic support and encouragement from both group members and consultants.

Many of my recipes are quite indulgent no doubt some are full-on fat-saturated meals but there is also a great range of low-calorie and low-fat dishes inspired by Slimming World’s Free-Food culture and dedicated to both the Slimming World group members and anyone trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle everywhere.

I like to cook just about any type of food and dishes from all cuisines and do hope that you can find something that you would like to try.

I hope that you enjoy….
