Hello from another 'just a cook'!
I'm Scots, but lived in London for quite a few years and have offspring living in the capital, too. I try to visit about once a month, there are just so many amazing restaurants and I love Borough Market, and never fail to come home with some new, amazing produce from there.
We have members from around the globe and all levels of culinary expertise, from those just starting out to masterchefs and all levels in between (I fall into the 'very enthusiastic amateur' camp).
Feel free to join in on any thread you find interesting, or start your own the relevant forum. There are three Professional fora, which are read-only for those of us who are not in a culinary trade (but can be enlightening to us). The wikis, blogs, articles, reviews and photography are all well worth spending time to view and can be a real source of inspiration.
Hope we'll see you on the boards!
