Trying dumplings in Shanghai
Are you looking for kitchen inspiration? Then you’ve come to the right place. I am Claire and I love food. Well I do now.
Until I was two years old I would eat just about anything. When I turned two, according to mum I shut my mouth and my list of acceptable foods shrank to the following: chicken (breast only), carrot, beans, cabbage, broccoli, steamed rice, potatoes, bread, cheese slices, vegemite and dry cereal. That is pretty much what I ate for almost 15 years.
In 2010, on a trip to Europe with my now fiancé Will, I discovered the world of food. Since then I will try anything and absolutely love everything to do with food from growing it, creating it and sourcing it to cooking it, serving it, eating it and photographing it.
I started Claire K Creations as a way to share my love of food with others. I source my recipes from magazines, books, other blogs, friend and family and make lots up myself. I have to admit that I can be very lazy. If there’s an easy way to do something with the same result I’ll take it. I’m not one to spend hours slaving over a recipe so you’ll mostly find quick and reasonably easy how-tos with the odd trickier recipe thrown in if it’s really worth the effort, like chocolate eclairs. I try to keep them as healthy as possible but always have a few treats.
As much as I love cooking I also enjoy eating out and writing about it afterwards (so I get to re-live the meal). Gadgets and appliances are a-plenty in my kitchen so I write about them sometimes too. Basically, if it’s food-related I’ll write about it. Sometimes I’ll throw in a post about another of my non-food creations and I love writing about my holidays too just to spice it up.
A little bit about me – I live with my fiancé Will in 2-bedroom apartment in sunny Brisbane, Australia. Our place is in a great spot. There’s a farmer’s market within walking distance on a Sunday and lots of restaurants and shops very close by – it’s a foodie’s heaven.
I can’t wait to share my food adventures with you!
