Hey there, I’m Jan Pretorius, the culinary enthusiast behind this quirky corner of the internet. For as long as I can remember, food has been my passion, my muse, and my constant companion. It all started 45 years ago when I took my very first bite, and I’ve been on a delicious journey ever since.
Over the years, my love for food has only grown, fueling my curiosity to explore its history, origins, and cultural significance. I’ve sampled exotic dishes in far-off lands, cooked up a storm in my own kitchen without burning the house down, and dined at some of the world’s finest restaurants.
Each meal is a new adventure, a new story to savor and share.
Owning and authoring this site is a dream come true, allowing me to combine my love for writing with my passion for food. Here, I aim to serve up a blend of fascinating food facts and amusing anecdotes that will entertain and enlighten fellow food enthusiasts.
So, join me on this culinary quest as we delve into the tantalizing world of food history together. From ancient recipes to modern-day delicacies, there’s always something new and exciting to discover.
After all, as I like to say, life is too short for bland food and boring stories.
