Growing up in a 'foodie' family, I often find memories are triggered by food - a favourite dish from when I was growing up, a flash from a meal with friends, a bbq in New Farm park, or my mother cooking something amazing in the kitchen. This is my digital serving, an offering to the table of what's going on in my life with food.. whether it's something I've made at home, something I've eaten out, or another ambient factor of food - music, friends, restaurant...

My Nan
I often describe my family as a foodie family, and this extensively comes from my nan.
Today my nan passed away. She was an amazing lady in more ways than I could list here, taught me many things, and above all loved me dearly.
I have so many happy, fond memories of my nan, but something she taught me I'll carry with me forever - when it comes to food, the more the merrier. Anyone and everyone were welcome at my grandparents table, long before I was ever born. Nan was happiest when she had friends and family gathered around and preparing a meal for them. My Nan had so much love to give and always showed her love by cooking and sharing, something that I cherish and live by myself.
I have a pot of chicken soup on the stove as I type this - I couldn't think of a better way to tribute such a wonderful lady, and show my family that I love them.
Rest In Peace Nan. I love you. Benjamin Luke x
