Cath Lawrence has started The Canberra Cook - a blog she describes as “… a foodblog, with odd dashes of sod knows what geekery & politics thrown in.”
I can’t think of three more apt topics for a Canberra blog - these are the prime topics of conversation with most of the people I know.
In her introduction post, Cath describes her mission as:
I am surprised that there doesn’t seem to be a Canberra food blog out there yet. I’m not in any way a food professional, but I do love to cook, eat and shop for foodie stuff and kitchen toys. I’ll mostly be posting about food in one way or another, but who knows what other topics may sneak in.
And herself as:
Apart from being a food-lover, I’m also a soprano, motorcyclist, atheist, programmer, wide reader, traveller, chess-player and more. I’m a true Canberran: I was born here before there was a lake, in the hospital that exploded. I have returned here more than once, after spates of living in other places like Amsterdam, New York and Sydney.
So far, The Canberra Cook has discussed the following topics:
- What to eat when you’re not cooking (i.e. ill - does anyone know anyone who hasn’t had the flu yet here in Canberra? I know one person - one person! - who has been totally healthy throughout the last couple of months),
- Devilled kidneys,
- Online grocery shopping (again, a flu thing, and handy to know), and
- The introduction post.
I’m in, Cath - you had me at “Canberra” and “cook”
