Hi! I’m Paula, the blogger and photographer behind Gobble the Cook.  I’m happy to see you here and I hope you’re enjoying browsing through the recipes.

When I was growing up, I wanted to be a teacher or a dentist or an accountant or a lawyer. I finally settled on something quite different though.

I’m a software engineer by profession and a home cook/baker in my downtime. I’m a self-taught cook, baker, and photographer. On weekdays, my time is spent looking at SAP screens and racking my brains over project deliverables. Weekends are spent catching up on sleep/personal time and cooking/baking/taking photos.

Why did you choose to start this blog?

I’ve always wanted to do something different from what I do normally. When you’re a project consultant, it’s easy to get mired in rules and client expectations and technical stuff.

This blog is my own space where I can share my recipes, post my food photos, and generally just express myself in my posts. There’s nothing technical here (apart from oven temperatures, ingredient measurements, and recipe steps). I do this for fun and to interact with other people too.

I love to cook and I keep a running tab at the back of my mind of the food that I want to write about.
