Customizing done!

Ok there! I've done it! That's all the customisation of stuff I wanted to do on the site... at least for now. I think it looks pretty good and I've only wasted a day on it.

Also I've added a foodie blog that I came across as i was surfing the web. ieatishootipost.sg is one Singaporean doctor's attempt to find good food and places to eat in Singapore. Not hard I'd imagine. ieat has very nice food pictures though.

I promise there will be real content soon.

The About Page

All sorrows are less with bread. ~Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote
The purpose of this blog...

This blog is about food.

Not just recipes and how-to guides (although there will be plenty of that) - it's about experiencing food and places to eat and all the other "social additives" that go into food. It's about making food, eating food, taking pictures of food.

Why blog about food?

Partly because it's a hobby for me. Food is just one of those global things - people from all cultures and places know about it and talk about it.

It's also to thank God for food. While man does not live on bread alone (but on every Word from the mouth of God), he can sure enjoy it :)

Are the recipes all yours?
No. To quote some latin, nanos gigantum humeris insidentes (dwarves stand on the shoulders of giants). Some of these recipes are mine, but many will be from people I know and love; my grandparents, friends, parents; the Internet; Jamie Oliver... you get the idea. Like I said, food and cooking is a global phenomenon - it brings people together and you get it by looking at other people.

What's your philosophy with cooking?
Quick, simple and as long as it tastes good. And looks good. And the texture's nice.

Can I add/change your recipes?
By all means. Every cook knows that to make a good dish means changing the flavours at times to suit the taste of your audience.*

*A small caveat: While obviously I would love you to use these recipes for anything you want, if you do end up publishing any of these please give due credit.

Where did you get your awesome blog template?
The template was from BloggerTemplates. I've hacked it a bit to make it look smoother and to get some new features I wanted (like the image in the header). The image in the header is from Creative Commons Flickr by clspeace.

All that said and done, I hope you enjoy what is on offer here and be inspired to cook, eat and enjoy.

Something new this way comes...

As you can tell from the change in template (very frustrating process choosing a new one!) there is going to be a change in The Food Spot. Finally a post after 2 years.
