New times

So, it's a new year and a perfect time to get a fresh start. Same goes for this blog. Previously we've promised, on several occasions, to get back at it and start posting things here again. Well, those promises we haven't been that good at keeping have we. So I've thought a bit about the reason for that and how to be better this time.

First of all, when I was back home in Sweden I was way to busy with other things. That doesn't mean I wasn't cooking, I could never stop that. I just didn't have time to document what I was doing and share it here. Now, life's changed. I have more time, and so much inspiration! New York must be one of the best cities to be a vegan in!

Secondly, when I cook, I don't like having to stop, write things down, measure things out exactly and so on. When I'm cooking I'm in the moment, tasting, smelling, stirring and looking. To me it's all about getting into it and using all your senses, not getting exact grams and milliliters of everything you add. Therefore I've now decided to document my recipes accordingly. When you follow them, use you're common sense and creativity. If you want to change something, do so. As long as you taste whatever you're cooking along the way, it will probably come out wonderfully. I want you to see the recipes as guidelines and inspiration more than anything else. Have fun when you're following them!

Third thing is the photo-thing. I've never enjoyed taking pictures of the food I cook. The reason is simple, once it's done I want to eat it not have it get cold while I'm getting the pictures of it just right. Also, I don't have a nice camera or the skill to take nice pictures. Therefore I've decided that just because everyone else has beautiful photos on their blogs doesn't mean I have to. If you think a recipe sounds good I hope you dare try it anyway!

As I said, some changes are happening. But end of the day I think the'll make me post more, and that's a good thing. Also I feel I can do my thing having explained this to you. Hope that you enjoy what you find on the blog, and please feel free to comment if something is good, bad or to simply say hi.
