I decided that the only way to be truly happy in life is to identify what you are really passionate about and do something about it. For me it was easy.
I am passionate about food and all that goes with it.
Whether it be the consumption of a single perfectly ripe piece of fruit or the decadent journey of a masterful degustation, I am entranced.
Similarly, the creative thought and precise logistics of a dinner party for friends has, for me, an appeal equal to the almost theatric experience of eating at an establishment that has tuned itself to the fine balance of food, wine, service, ambience (and that other thing that no-one can quite put words around) needed for success.
So, my blog was born and gives me a fabulous outlet to share my passion. Do you like the name? secondhelping
For me it embodies both my hunger for food itself, and for more knowledge and experience. It could also speak to everyone’s passion.
If you haven’t yet worked out what yours is, it’s that thing that you want more of.
I hope that you enjoy reading my blog, and end up wanting more of it too! If you do, you can get in touch with me by sending an email to
