the spare change kitchen

My name is Louise Vansleve. Self confessed sake aficionado, avid book worm, mother, foodaholic. During fleeting moments of peace graciously given  to me by my delicious 5 year old, my new project www.learncakedecoratingonline.com is currently my passion. Not content with that, I am working on my first book which upon publication will be the realisation of a dream.

The Spare Change Kitchen would have to fall into the hobby category. Since starting the blog from a desire just to write and release, a concept fellow bloggers will be familiar with, the blog has come to be something I love, a place to share experiences, thoughts and explore.

My relationship with food is an intrinsically personal one. I love it passionately and I am always fascinated by how food is involved in all the crucial elements of life, significant events, health, love, romance, comfort and so many more. I am most certainly and unashamedly a comfort eater, for nothing cheers me up more, than turning a miserable day into a day scattered with moments, however fleeting, of pure unadulterated pleasure.

Now, be under no illusion, I am by no means a chef, but food I believe is crucial to the warmth of a home. There should always be enough to be shared, leftovers in the freezer and it should always taste good. And it should always be cooked with love.

Food nurtures the soul. And food saves me. Satisfying, nourishing, wholesome. Food can bring me back from the edge every time.

This is me. The About. The stories, the food, the recipes, the journey.
