About Me

Carl's Creative Cooking Blog

Hello, friends! Welcome to my new cooking blog. My name is Carl Simms and I live in Perth, Australia. For many years, I have been a passionate amateur cook.

I recently decided that I wanted to mix things up a little bit, so I decided to take a cooking lesson from a professional chef. I learnt lots of cool stuff which I would like to share with you.
