Awkward Handshakes

It wouldn't be right to divulge our most prized recipes and embarrassing moments without giving a bit of background, now would it?


We respond to the names Basil and Rosemary, Bas and Rose for short. Of course those aren't our real names but since we're going to be posting our most cringe-worthy and mortifying moments for all to see, we thought leaving a bit of mystery would be in our best interests.

Bas and I have been friends for a couple of years now. After toiling away at the same high school, and now at the same university, we've come to find that along with shared interests in making fools of ourselves, complaining about the most mundane things, and being a little bit too socially awkward, we also have a shared passion for food.

We are by no means experts, nor will we ever claim to be. It's a bit disjointed and sometimes heated (ha. hahaha) in the kitchen when we don't agree (namely Bas follows recipes and I just throw stuff together). But, at the end of the day we end up with something. It can turn out good, sometimes amazing, but oftentimes destined for the rubbish bin.

One thing is for sure, we always finish wiping down the counters having learned a lesson or a new trick. Though, and perhaps even more important, we leave with a new memory to share and laugh on.
After all, at the end of the day, that's what food is really all about.
