Hello my hungry friends,

This is not the site for your mum. This is not the site for anybody looking to seriously impress their friends and family with a Michelin Star meal. This is not the site for anyone who’s ever cooked anything with a french name. This is a site for my brothers and sisters who have been subsisting on a diet of cereal, canned soup and dreams for the past week or so. Not all students but mostly students. Ye who burns pasta – AF. You’re life can be better than this. It is possible to have a good meal everyday without 3 digits in your bank account, knowledge of what a colander looks like or 4 trillion hours of free time on your hands.

Let me help you.

Once upon a time I was much like you. Actually, I was worse. At one point in my youth I was legit banned from the kitchen because I made the mistake of washing yam with soap when i was trying to help out. Then as university approached I realised I needed to step up my game and after a few months of trial and error I finally achieved the esteemed title of ‘Man Who Can Feed Himself’ or MWCFH [I know the abbreviation sucks but I’m working on it ok, bear with me].

I clapped myself on the back and thought that was the end of that, but then second year came around. My friends and I moved out of catered uni accommodation and into our own flat where I watched in sorrow as one of my best friends lived of off nothing but porridge and tomato soup. Thus, I was inspired to go out and share my hard earned knowledge as (enter name of your preffered deity here) intended, so that people like the friend who will only be known as BC [Before Cooking] could more easily make that transition to the realm of ‘Person Who Can Feed Her/Himself’ or PWCFH [I’m bad at the abbreviation thing if you haven’t already noticed]. I will hold your hand every step of the way answering frequently asked but rarely answered  questions like ‘Is this what its supposed to look like?’, ‘Why does it smell like that?’ and ‘Oh shit! The kitchen is on fire!’ so that together we can all lead much more fulfilling and flavourful lives.

 

Best Regards,

Candyman
