Welcome to 2009!!
Last year at this time I shared the Top 10 dishes that received the most traffic on my personal blog. I am always seeking out new dishes and dreaming of warmer climates. For my friends down under you will find plenty of barbecue dishes here. To that end I would have to say that summer is my favourite "foodie" time of the year. What I wouldn't give to be sitting on my deck with barbecue utensils in one hand, sipping my latest favourite cocktail, and enjoying the warm sunshine on my face. My inspiration for my daily repertoire comes from my blogging friends like you, browsing the Internet, my cherished cookbooks and my ever growing pile of foodie magazines. As you can see it was very hard to narrow my list down to just a few, so, I just included all my favourites of 2008. This year looks so full of promise. I am looking forward with renewed spirit to all that it has to offer including delicious dishes shared with you!!!
