Martin Gaston; English student from the south of England who hopes to revitalise his cooking and kick it up a notch, then watch as its previously dead ashes rise from the oven like a glorious culinary phoenix.

As for the blog's title, I very rarely even use the grill. But, hey, the logo wouldn't have made sense otherwise, would it?

I'm a bad man

I must, once again, apologize to my blog for neglecting it over the past few weeks. It’s not my fault, I swear. The reasons for such are threefold:

  1. One of my ignorant friends bought me 60 days of World of Warcraft for my birthday, and I have been addicted to that damn mmorpg for far too long. I am finally beginning to break free of its vicious grasp, and returning to my former, wiser self who is far more interested in cooking, writing and casual gaming.

  2. Casually gaming. Just one more lap around this course! Just one more attempt at beating my high score! Oh, it’s 9pm already? I haven’t done any work today whatsoever? Damn!

  3. The college year has started again. Boo! All that academic work and whatnot. Still, now that I’m settled back in I have more than enough free time to keep this going. Besides, I was laid off from my current job, so I should have plenty of time to juggle everything.

I’ve been doing the odd bit of cooking here and there though. I’ve got some nice stuff that I want to write about, and lots of other stuff that I want to log here and continue learning about. That is what this site is all about, really. I’ve been working a lot with dough and bread, which is my little project at the moment. I think I’m going to devote a whole little section of my site up into bread and stuff. Thinking about it, eventually I’m going to have far too many recipes for the bar on the right hand side of the site to track. I’m going to have to think about what I’m going to do with that later on!

Anyway, I promise that I will update a lot more. I apologize again for missing out on this month’s Paper Chef (I was away that weekend), and I will strive to get some more work done. I’d even write a longer news post for this, if it wasn’t 2am and the words weren’t starting to blur on the screen.
