We are a bunch of friends who share a passion for music (particularly heavy metal) and also for good food (both cooking and eating). Forget those tasteless ready meals, take-out pizzas and pre-made curry pastes and enjoy a blog about how to cook great, tasty food from scratch with influences from all over the globe.

In this blog expect recipes which we have come up with from scratch, or adapted for our own tastes. We all love chillies so many of the recipes will be on the hot side. We are not shy about experimenting, so we will happily be posting the “cock ups” which do not go quite so well (with a disclaimer at the top warning people not to follow these recipes). Many of the recipes will not be authentic because we are not cooking for authenticity, but for what tastes good. The only important thing is how much we enjoy eating it. Also there may be a few posts about other things we get up (music and food related).

We do not cook lowest-common-denominator food, bland food that will not offend anyone. We don’t care if you don’t like it. We are not professional chefs and we are cooking for ourselves and wish to share our dishes with anyone who is interested.
