Brie with Roasted Pear and Thyme

I am food obsessed! I love the texture, the nutrients, the taste. Mother nature is so clever to put all the things we need to keep our bodies healthy right inside all of our food. Nutritious and delicious food. 

My favourite food is something I can hold in my hand. Little bite sized morsels of deliciousness! Tapas, d'oeuvres, finger foods… whatever you call them, I call them wonderful. Why do I love them you ask? Well, fingers were made before forks after all! 

Food is not simply stuff that people eat when there hungry. Food is awesome, delicious, inventive, colourful, inspiring, and so much more. A mutual love of food can bring different people together and can make the saddest person feel a little better without even meaning too. I love food and think you should too. Here are some reasons why I love food…

1. It brings people together

2. It lets you explore other cultures without travelling the globe

3. Its social

4. It makes any party better

5. It shows people you care

6. It Inspires creativeness

7. It makes you feel good

8. It tastes great
