This is my personal project—a space for sharing random thoughts, ideas, and experiences. By day, I'm a technology manager, but here, you'll find musings from someone who loves cooking and the occasional adventure.

Scribble, the words and Scran, a Scottish word for food. This is my place on the internet where the thoughts and musings are my own. My place to write about the meanderings around the kitchen table with the odd adventure thrown in as I explore the mountains of Scotland and take the odd holiday from the world of technology delivery.

Cooking for me is a practice, habitual and with rhythm. For me its a place where I find mindfulness and creativity, a place to escape. If you forget about the washing up I create, I like to think it’s one of the ways I help within the house. It’s a place where I grow and and learn.

Over the last few years I’ve been writing in fits and starts, mainly like my exercise routine. I try to do better every day, make the right choices and move forward.

I have a small eco system:

  • Cook One Thing: a wiki style website, raw thoughts, my recipes and links as they unfold and grow. Based on a digital garden methodology. This my digital kitchen garden.

  • ScribbleandScran.substack: here, a bulletin based on the substack approach to content distribution. My intention being to provide an update for the first two through this mechanism.

  • An instagram feed where I share the ride.

In order to Stay up-to-date

Please subscribe and witness my journey as I pull a bunch of recipes together alongside an amalgamation of memories, thoughts and ideas and try and write that book!

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the bulletin will be sent directly to your inbox.

The ramblings on food, life and adventure from a cook trapped inside the world of technology. Armed with a collection of cookbooks that brought down a set of newly installed shelves. They were heavy and really nothing to do with my DIY capability!
