Today is Kavey Eats' 1st birthday, or blogiversary!
I started creating the blog on the evening of April Fool's Day 2009, after attending a wonderful chocolate tasting event, worked feverishly on it through the next day and announced my new blog to the world on the 2nd April!
Even though I still feel like a newbie, I look back at how much I've posted (and eaten) over the past year with a sense of amazement (and some pride). We're talking 127 posts over a year!
I'd like to say a huge thank you to those of you who've joined me on this journey, who read my blog and, especially those who take the time to comment. A year in and I still feel a childlike thrill each time you take the time to share your thoughts, so do please keep reading and please keep in touch.
For newer readers, if you'd like to learn more about me, these two posts will tell you more than you ever wanted to know!
Here are some of my favourite posts from the year that's passed:-

P.S. Eagle-eyed amongst you might notice that my blog archive goes back to 2006. That's because I've made notes about and taken photographs of my food, especially meals out, for many, many, many, many years. In recent years, I shared some of these in a general web diary with a small circle of friends, some I posted on a food chat website, and some I sent via email to interested friends and family. All of these, I ferreted out and copied across to Kavey Eats, so that I had all my food ramblings stored in one handy place.

Happy blog birthday!Just wanted to say that although I haven't commented before, I really enjoy your blog (plus, we have a shared love of cheese). Now I have started blogging I realise how important it is to comment! :)
Congratulations on a year of gastronomic fun Kavey. You've picked out some intriguing sounding faves from the last twelve months. Off to read up about chickens and macaroni cheese right now. Happy Burpday "Kavey Eats" :^)

Wow Kavey, I am so amazed that it's been just a year, and you have achieved and inspired so many (me included!). I followed your blog long before I started mine, I loved reading your posts, particularly Pierre Koffmann's (best tip ever of 2009!), and cannot wait to see you tomorrow to celebrate your blogiversary over some good dim sum! Happy 1st Anniversary! Lx

Kavey, dear friend, Happy Blogiversary!
I've so enjoyed "accompanying" you on your adventures with food over this past year. Time has really flown, hasn't it? But whether you've been making food in your kitchen, or sharing your mum's lovely recipes or reviewing a meal at an event or restaurant, it has truly been a delicious experience that I've very much relished!
Well done you!
