The important parts ...

Why hello. It's nice to meet you. My name is Tara, I live in southern Ontario, Canada, and I am the one behind seven spoons.

I started this site in May 2005 - my, that's a while ago. It was intended as my recipe file, to keep track of things as I built a life with my boyfriend. Here is the beginning. In the years since, my boyfriend has become my husband, we moved from our first apartment to our first house, welcomed our first son, moved to our second house and welcomed our second son. Through it all seven spoons has become more than just about recipes, but also an account of sorts, a collection of thoughts and family and food.

I have said it before and I'll say it again, thanks for the company.
