Bio
My name is Victoria and I am the blogger behind The Flavour Diaries. I’m Irish but was born in Greece where I lived as a young child. My passion for cooking and eating comes from my Mediterranean upbringing. Lots of fresh, delicious food eaten over a couple of hours of chat followed by a siesta. What’s there not to love about that? And that’s only lunch, you get to do that all again for dinner!
I'm the type of girl who is planning my next meal while I'm still eating the one in front of me! And yes, if I know I'm going to a particular restaurant, I will have perused the menu and know what I'm ordering days in advance. I get ridiculously excited when I eat tasty dishes or try a new recipe. The only books I read are cook books, the only shows I watch are cooking programs. I think you get it by now.... food obsessed!
I started this blog because as I kept learning about cooking I realized how little attention I was putting on seasoning and how it can effect a dish. This motivated me to learn about flavor profiles and how they can make comfort food taste more appealing (introducing some healthy swaps where needed).
I'm constantly experimenting with new recipes in an effort to develop my cooking skills. Relish cooking real, comforting food, while aspiring to stay as healthy as possible (staying away from any processed foods!!!). I love nothing more than cooking and sharing good food (and wine!!) with friends.
