Welcome!

As the journey of the intrepid Chlaure comes to an interlude, I have been eager to pursue the adventure into a different territory. One that presents very few limits and which requires curiosity, imagination and dedication. This universe I have been exploring lately is, as you might have guessed, the one of Food. A topic that has always been dear to me, in which I take immense pleasure and, although the delight has often come from eating rather than preparing it, is opening up a brand new ground for experimentation.

As some of you might know, I tend to associate situations with particular Alter-Egos of my own creation. You might have come across "Dirty Mad" somewhere along the border between New South Wales and Victoria, "Euro Mad" was it's Scandinavian counterpart, all aviators and hiking boots, while "Chlaure the Explorer" took us half-way around the world.

Therefore, and with no further due, let me introduce you to the "Soup Chef". It is not a Chef, not even a Sous-Chef. A Soup Chef is below that. It is someone who lacks confidence and experience, who is eager but not especially talented and who can learn through small successes and a fair share of disasters.

The Soup Chef will be our host, sharing recipes and experiences in the kitchen. Feel free to contribute in any way. This is about sharing tips and tricks, experimenting and, obviously, the main goal is to eat as much great food as possible !

Tastefully yours,

The Soup Chef
