I’ve always loved food. When I was young I wanted to work with it, most likely as a cook. I never went after it. There wasn’t anyone around to give me that nudge, so it stayed a quiet daydream.
It never went away though. These days it lives in my kitchen. Nothing beats cooking for my family, whether it’s a midweek staple we all know or a weekend spent trying something new. I cook a bit of everything.
Food also takes me places. I’m lucky enough to travel, and wherever I end up I go looking for the local gem instead of the obvious choice. You don’t have to leave home to find them, either. Troy’s in Torbay blends Georgian and Turkish cuisine. It’s cosy, welcoming and the food is to die for. Places like that are why I’m doing this.
Whenever I walk in, I ask for the quiet corner table. It’s the best seat for taking in the food, the room and the people.
Here you’ll find real photos of what I ate and a straight account of how it was. When something is great, I’ll say so. When it isn’t, I’ll say that too, politely.
I’m doing this because I enjoy writing about food. If a post sends you off to try somewhere new, even better.
Pull up a chair.
