A bloke called Dave from a little town called Newton-le-Willows in the North West of England. Works and plays in Manchester. He is of a certain age who likes his food and beer. This blog has foodie reviews and the odd recipe. They are my own opinions of the food and places I’ve been. Fully understands that preparing food is a tough gig. If I enjoy, it goes on here to let others know.

Likes cooking as well. Likes trying the dishes we all see on telly and in celeb chef recipe books.
You may notice ‘the flame’ gets a mention. She is my lovely wife Sandra who happens to have red hair! It’s a nod to the musings of AA Gill whose wife he calls ‘the blonde’. Enjoy!
