It's good to know what goes into it! Because I will now appreciate every single bite! Xxx

I was watching Episode 1 of Celebrity Masterchef and they were in the challenge of being in a professional restaurant where they had to cook a dish for real customers. How they do it I'll never know- it's a tremendous challenge!

Sarah Harding (of Girls Aloud fame) had a complex dish to make and with all the orders coming in at once, I can't even begin to imagine the precision they need to execute those dishes!

Anyhoo, it was at the end of the challenge and she proclaimed that now, when she goes out to eat at restaurants 'I'll appreciate every single bite!'

And that's true. I think it's so easy to take things for granted, but there is a tremendous amount to be grateful for, to appreciate and enjoy. To watch those talent shows, singers, athletes or whatever and think 'they is rubbish' (and they may well be!), but the amount of practise and training, thought and design that goes into these things is tremendous!

I love learning how things work and what goes into what and I believe it helps give me a deeper sense of appreciation for the effort people go to, to create their masterpieces.

So before you critique, pause to take in the magnificence of it all!

Happy bite-ing!!!

Lots of love, Nick Xxx
