Hello dear reader,

I’ve discovered that some people are confused by my blog’s name and have never heard of a “vittle”, so I thought I’d bring you a little blog post telling you all about Vohn’s Vittles.

Vohn

I’m Vohn.
Vohn (rhymes with John) is my childhood nickname, short for Siobhan.

I am a keen amateur cook who is passionate about great-tasting food, cooked from scratch, using natural ingredients. I love sourcing food, discovering new ingredients, exploring new cuisines, planning menus, developing recipes, cooking, eating and sharing food. All in all I’m rather obsessed by food!

So this blog is a way for me to share my obsession with you dear reader.

I love to cook recipes from around the world but I also like to try to source my ingredients locally and sustainably whenever possible. I follow the Fife Diet ethos “Think Global Eat Local” which guides us to source 80% of our food locally and in season but also allows us to source 20% from further afield so we can still enjoy spices and specialities from around the world. This makes for a very enjoyable diet full of great flavour, better nutrients, lower food miles and exciting discoveries.

Vittles

“Vittle” is the slang word for an older word “victual” which oddly is actually pronounced “vittel”. It means “food” or “provisions” and this is what Vohn’s Vittles is all about – food!

Vegan and Vegetarian recipes

It is more environmentally friendly to eat a vegetarian diet, rather than a meat-based diet.
I’m not a vegetarian but do limit my meat consumption, so make lots of lovely vegan and veggie-friendly recipes.

Seasonal recipes

Seasonal ingredients taste better, have more nutrients and are cheaper to buy.

World cuisine

I love to travel but don’t often have the time or money so I bring the world to me, in food form, instead!

 .

Quirky themes

I love to be challenged and often enter bloggers challenges to cook with specific ingredients or themes.
I also devoted a whole week of recipes to my Doctor Who obsession.

Foodie masterclasses and events

I have a great thirst for knowledge so regularly attend foodie events, workshops and masterclasses.
