The Travelling Coffee girl

When I am not being a domestic goddess, I work as Sales Manager for Farrers Coffee, Kendal.

We are one of the oldest idependant coffee roasters in the country and also blend the famous “Lakeland Special” tea.

I have the best sales area in the world, The Lake District!!  Very lucky to get to travel round Cumbria visiting my customers and picking up some new ones on the way.  I also go down to North Lancashire which is still nice.

So as well as my cooking was going to share some pics of the travelling coffee lady. These pics are from Thursday when I went up to Keswick.

Finally getting going with this blog

Hi there

New to this blog stuff but after my Twitter hubbie Adam has bought me smilfcooks domain name, it is only right that I get on and do some blogging!!

Last weekend had some friends round for dinner, the said friends are veggie and this always inspires me to create something really tasty.

So for starters we had Slow roasted peppers, filled with cherry tomatoes, garlic, rosemary and anchovies for the non veggies!  For main course had Thai root vegetable curry with Jasmine scented rice.  Recipes will be available to view shortly.  They seem to like it, as Martin had 3 platefuls of the casserole!

My aim is to try a new recipe a week and will share with you and maybe we could all make the recipe on the same night?
