Hello and welcome. Although I have been a keen and passionate cook for years, this venture into the world of blogging is quite new. Recently some friends suggested I write a book of recipes I have invented or adapted. I released a number of demo copies of the book and it was suggested I take it further and start writing about what inspires me, what I like and dislike so here it is.
Living in a busy house with all the demands raising three teenagers can bring, shutting myself in the kitchen and trying new ideas is my escape – my “me time”. Things don’t always go to plan and I will cover the successes and the not-so-successes here over the coming months.
When people find out I don’t eat meat two things usually happen. They ask me whether it is for health or moral grounds and then go on to say how little meat they eat themselves. I am not here to preach about the rights or wrongs of eating meat, just to offer up some ideas for food that is simple to prepare and tasty. I do a lot of entertaining and my guests (most of them meat eaters) never miss the meat. So don’t think of the dishes here as being vegetarian, think of them simply as meat free.
I’m also trying to put all my recipes and photos together in a book. So far I have made two. The first edition a text only, handmade book, the second a full colour hardback published by Blurb. Revision three is a work in progress.
If you’d like to get in touch you can email me at ian.fischer@gmail.com.
If you have tried one of my recipes I’d love to hear what you think.

Awesome, and here I was thinking that you were just ReTweeting stuff on other sites. What a legend. I knew you were a foodie but Gordon Ramsey here we come!
Please put in something for a pregnant woman so that Hails has motivation to try a recipe. A

Hi Ian
I’m Kirsty from the Strand Cafe in Trebarwith, Cornwall, nice to be on here! If you want any soup recipes or our famous veggie burger recipe for your blog, just let me know…happy munching x
Hi Kirsty. You may remember me. I was the one who spotted your missing recipe in the famous Strand Cafe cookbook
. All recipes welcome. Thanks. Ian
Hi Ian
I was impressed yesterday with how your house in Cornwall has changed, and now today I’m impressed all over again – this looks so professional (and why shouldn’t it) will definitely try some of these recipes – thinking specifically courgettes at the moment as we have a bit of a glut. I’ll let you know how I get on.

My girlfriend makes me eat vegetarian and she’s a terrible cook. It’s been cheese on toast and omelettes for 5 years now. I’ve shown her your website – let’s see what happens. . . .
