All About Us - Our Rise and Fall and Rise Again All about Us: Hi -
I'm Pam Lynn
and I'd like to tell you all about us and how my husband David and I
came to develop
this Mediterranean Recipe and Food Website.We've learned a lot over the years, running Restaurants and Catering businesses in Ireland, the North of England and of course here in Southern Spain where we now live and work. We've both always loved the Mediterranean life-style, food and wine and I have always had a dream of running my own Country Inn in a white village in Andalucia. David has always wanted to build a website about Mediterranean food and recipes, (more about this later) so when we got our own place here in Periana, in the mountains behind Malaga, everything had worked out perfectly - or so we thought. In August 2009 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and the bottom fell 
out of our world. All I can say is - thank God for our friends, who rallied round, and the Spanish health service which has been absolutely fantastic. With the guest house being busy and David struggling to cope, I went in for my operation in early September. Fortunately I had caught it early and only had to have a Lumpectomy and Radio Therapy (no chemo). Talk about a wake-up call, it's amazing how your outlook on life changes when you think you could be dying. Anyway it's now march 2010 and I feel great. We've just returned from Austrailia where we were visiting our new grand-daughter Isabel "Issy" now 9 months, and we're raring to go. Update July 2nd. 2010 Despite feeling great and having a new and different outlook on life, the hectic pace of the "Bel Limonero" here in Periana Paradise is really taking it out of me and David and I have decided that it's better to put our Country Inn up for sale. We'll carry on until later in the year and then we intend to go back to the coast near Marbella where we have a lot of friends and family. Thankfully the web business is going really well and we intend to devote more time to it on the coast. I'm starting a website of my own to compliment this one (no I don't know anything about web building, click here to jump to the story of how David built this website). Hopefully, because of the websites, we'll be able to take life a little more slowly and still make a decent living - while doing the things we enjoy most!  A lot of people have been asking me what kitchen gear and equipment are needed to become a well rounded and efficient cook, so I've teamed up with Amazon to put together our Kitchen Basics USA page for our US visitors and our Kitchen Basics UK & EU page for our British and EU visitors. I've also opened a USA online store with our partners at Amazon where you can find a range of Electrical appliances specially chosen by me to reflect great quality and value for money. For our UK and EU visitors there's my UK/EU Online Store. My favorite online store for everything Spanish is La Tienda, and with branches in the USA and here in Sevilla, Spain they deliver great quality Spanish Food, Ceramics and Cookware to almost anywhere in the World. It's a family owned business and they pride themselves in their quality and service. I can recommend them wholeheartedly.  I'll be adding more food and drink suppliers as we go along but only if they live up to our exacting standards. I won't recommend anyone to you until we've tried them ourselves several times and are satisfied that they're good enough for our visitors. Update July 2nd. 2010: Here's another great online store: Cybercucina - we really love their Italian and French products.  If you'd like to hear about how we built this website into a paying concern from scratch and with no technical knowledge - I'll pass you over to David who's dying to to tell you. If not, just skip this bit. It's a new dawn - It's a new Day.
Neither of us had any until recently when we were introduced to Ken Evoy's Site Build It ... and thank goodness we were! I say recently, I've actually been working on this website for about 18 months, and it's really paying dividends now. A friend of mine who already had a successful website introduced me to SBI and Pam and I have not looked back since. We knew nothing about websites before we started but now we both look forward to working on the site just whenever we can. Believe me I don't go for "Get Rich Quick" schemes and this is certainly not one of those. I like to think of it as: "Get Rich Eventually" if you're prepared to use your brain and stick at it.  It's
been hard
work and sometimes a pretty steep learning curve, but we've been
helped every
step of the
way by the team at SBI.I could explain but not as well as Ken and if you're anything like Pam and me, you'd rather watch the video. So, if you would like to take control of your life and build a home web business that works, just click on the TV to the right - it may just change your life too. Good Luck. Or have a look at this: Hundreds of successful Websites built by ordinary people like you and us and all of them in the Top 1% of sites on the web. If We can do it - Anyone Can Meanwhile, we'll just carry on adding more and more Mediterranean Recipes. Why not subscribe to our Mediterranean Recipe Blog for regular updates on our progress. We aim to make this the definitive Mediterranean Recipe website and we won't stop until we do. That's all about us for the moment but I'll be updating regularley so please keep on visiting. ...David
