My two sisters were always cooking. I wanted to be in the police force, but I didn't get in because I just so happened to procrastinate a bit, and I hadn't gotten my application in at the right time. April Bloomfield applicationbitecook Change image and share on social
Most of my food memories are of my Nan cooking Sunday dinners - roasts of meat with lots of vegetables. I suppose I cook what's comforting and dishes that make me feel good. April Bloomfield comfortcookdinner Change image and share on social
I have this obsession with pea pods. They're just really nice to look at. They can be perfect. April Bloomfield niceobsessionpea Change image and share on social

I still worry that I could be better. That's where standards come from, from not wanting to settle. The fear of not being good enough propels you. April Bloomfield feargoodpropel Change image and share on social
I love to roast vegetables - carrots, fennel, and so on. I also love to mash or puree pretty much any vegetable! April Bloomfield carrotfennellove Change image and share on social
I like cooking the biggest steaks. It cooks nice and evenly when it's that thick, and you're not eating the whole thing yourself, which is nice. You get to share that with a companion. April Bloomfield bigcompanioncook Change image and share on social
I wasn't the most confident of cooks, but I just persevered, and I wanted to learn, and I wanted to be a sponge, and I wanted to be better than the next person, and I wanted to learn as much as I could, so I just kept pushing, and it took me a long time actually to be confident in my technique and my ability as a cook.

My mom wasn't so much such a great cook. But I don't know, I think I have a very strong mother, and it's funny, because both of my sisters - I have two sisters, and I'm the baby, but they all work hard. I'm not sure where I get it from, and I'm not sure where they get it from, but they must get it from somewhere... I like to work. April Bloomfield babycookfunny share on social
