Welcome to my new foodie blog, where I’ll post recipes (podcasting some so you can listen while you cook) and all the interesting food stuff that comes into my view.

A couple of years ago I had an idea for a website, one that would allow me to pursue my foodie passion - of course time and London being what they are I never managed to get past the thinking and talking stage. Then last October I started an MA in web design and my thesis project (due in June 09)  offers me the perfect opportunity to create this site…

A site for urban foodies like me, London/city dwellers who love food and cooking, care about where it comes from but don’t live in a River Cottage with endless time and funds or access to nettles that haven’t had dogs or car fumes at them. I hope, with your help, to create a place where we can share recipes, get food news and meet foodie friends.

The core function will be a recipe database - I know there are many others but this one will be deeper and wider than any of those - plus there will be a wealth of other fun, informative, useful food information and a forum for people to get together. Beyond that I have my ideas but I see the site developing in whatever ways its members want it to.

 Of course this is a long way off from this blog, but as Lao Tzu said:

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step“

And this is mine.

I’d love it if you could join me on my journey, feel free to add comments along the way, or just bookmark this site and come back in a few months to see how it has grown.

For now, that’s me, take care.

Mia, Urban Foodie
