OK, so, why the title of the blog?
To be honest I am not really sure. Obviously it’s a slight alteration of the ‘too many cooks…’ to reflect the two of us. We are not chefs, I’m a café manager and as mentioned Freesia is a dietitian out of work. We do both enjoy food and the cooking of food so we set about creating this blog.
I’m also trying to convince her to have more of an author’s role with the blog. I simply want to write down my recipes, reflections, reactions… I want Freesia to comment on these. I want her to tell you how faithful I am to my diet, how frustrating I can be and give details of weight loss, gain, my cholesterol etc!
Please, encourage her along the way!
She’s as much a part of this as I am, and also has designed the layout of the blog!
(oh, and I am aware that the titles does look a little like 2 Mini Cocks… It was only after it was created that this became apparent… Freesia says it’s too late to change it now…)
ESPAÑOL
Bueno, por qué el título de nuestro blog?
Para ser honesto no estoy muy seguro. Obviamente viene de la frase Inglesa “Too many cooks” (algo parecido al significado de “hay muchos caciques en esta tribu”, queriendo decir que muchos son los que quieren mandar). Pero la cambiamos para que significara “2 pequeños cocineros”.
No somos cocineros profesionales, yo soy el encargado de un Café y Freesia es Nutricionista. Los dos disfrutamos mucho la comida y también cocinar y experimentar con alimentos. Por eso pensamos en abrir el Blog.
Esperamos que lo disfruten mucho!
Tim.

Great collaboration on a blog. Nothing mini about your site!
2minicooks said:
Thanks! Yes, the blog does seem to becoming a lot less ‘mini’ than we anticipated!

We love how ‘Cholesterol’ is one of the biggest tags here! 😛
Happy cooking!
2minicooks said:
Ironically the more I want to decrease my cholesterol, the larger cholesterol font becomes! Hope your blogging goes well too!

haha, I am glad you addressed the similarity in your name to the male organ…I found it pretty amusing. I am glad you kept it. Add a bit of humor and surprise! Thanks for stopping by and let us know if you try (or already have!) any of the Peruvian food we will be presenting over the months! Saludos from Peru!

Great weekend to you …. and I want to thank you for support for my blog, needs it because I don’t have a clue really – just pretending for the moment. Love your “tag” layout. Great visit a blog about food that’s not only mad cooking. Been a chef in over 30 years and there is more to life !
Keep on the good job! And I will be back.

I wasn’t going to tell you this, but since you’ve said it yourself, so, yeah, I first read your blog title as 2MiniCocks, sorry, an then I re-read it and I know it’s 2MiniCooks. My bad. Thanks for the star, btw. I’m clicking the follow button. You got interesting recipes I want to try. I’ll tell you my thoughts (about the recipes) after I try them. See you soon…
