Simple Delights Introduction

Welcome to my Introduction

Simple Delights

Where
I will be sharing
ALL the Good Food! Mmm

Thank you to @Rolfey for introducing me to the steemit world!

My name is Undine Corby but you can call me Dina!
I am half German and half kiwi, born in a small place called Motueka at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. I have moved around the globe a fair amount and now (gratefully) reside in the metropolitan, culturally diverse, cafe hub and voted best place to live in the world -Melbourne, Victoria. Which is a fabulous place to live if you are a foodie like me:-)

One of my first interests as a child was cooking, baking, getting creative in the kitchen (I even used to wait until my parents were asleep and sneakily bake cakes and biscuits!) Anyone else do that??
When I was four, a friend and I pretended to bake and came up with some green cake concoction. I still remember him reading out the ingredients and method to me, looking up (from sifting a lot of ginger powder) and seeing the book upside down!! We thought we would get in trouble, so hastily put some adult clothes on, so we would look like grown ups haha.
I think this ended up being feed to the chooks. Poor chooks:(
Luckily I have come a long way since then and have learned a lot from trial and era. I still love experimenting and hope to share some of the more successful results with you.

Gin & Citrus house cured Trout, from one of my favorite breakfast spots in Melbourne.

When I have the time, my friends come over and I cook for them and I really enjoy adapting to suit their dietary requirements. Many vegan options and my main focus is adapting popular dishes with a more HEALTHY alternative. Although I am by no means a health fanatic and certainly do not abide by any set of strict rules. (all in moderation)
We all feel better when we get what we need nutritionally and emotionally of course. So, my intention here is to help make that possible for everyone.
Growing up, it was instilled in me not to waste food. Perhaps this is where the creative cooking originated or was born from. Mum always prepared more then we could eat, in-case someone came knocking on the door. There was nothing that pleased her more then feeding others.

AS it comes so naturally I assumed everyone did this, but I have noticed so many people have no idea how to eat well and within a budget. Feels like the time has come to share economical and very importantly YUMMY INSPIRINGideas, tips and tricks I've learned along the way, food philosophy’s, healthy habits and the small simple changes we can all do to change our lives for the
better. What better way then steemit! SIMPLE DELIGHTS is born from a desire to share all my knowledge and explore new ways we can connect via food and well-being. I welcome any feed back of course and hope to share this journey with anyone interested. I will be reviewing some cafes and restaurant’s in and around Melbourne to begin with and then wherever my travels take me...
