I have been cooking for family and friends on an occasional basis for some years but more recently, with time away from full time employment, I have been able to make this a much more regular feature of my week.
As I look forward to 2014 I thought I could make my weekly creative culinary adventures more available to share with the wider community as I often choose recipes with slightly different ingredients or create traditional ones with a twist of my own.
Hence this blog.
But why the name?
I am now a grandfather! One of my sons and his wife has produced two children, so far, and when the first was born there was the usual debate about "what shall we call Dad".
Since Grandad had already been "bagged" by my daughter-in-law's father and I didn't really like "Pops" I thought "Papa" would be quite trendy and so I became "PapaJ". My name is Jim.
I also have this thing about making things sound more grandiose than they really are so when I started cooking for one particular family I used to send over some basic instructions in a menu format under the heading of PapaJ's Kitchen.
Welcome.
