About Me

Hello, I'm Jan 😊

Although I'm a Londoner, I now live in Shropshire with my husband Paul.

Long story about how I ended up here; I could start another blog about that one!

I started this blog in March 2008, and I love cooking and especially eating; always hungry am I. We love cheese and probably eat far too much of it, but hey ho.

Now, you may well be wondering how the name A Glug of Oil came about?

Well, I don't believe in measuring exact amounts when making a recipe unless it's baking and that's only because by law you have to or the recipe just won't work.

But for general cooking, I make it up as I go along and only make a note so I can write the recipe for this blog. 

I taste as I go, and using a pencil I start with a scrap of paper and write down what I put in, then if I add more I alter it - simples!

For more info on a glug of oil or a knob of butter, pop over to my 'Measurements' page. 

I’d love to hear from you, whether you have a question or a comment you'd rather not make public.

Cheers, Jan x
