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.

Hi - I'm David, and she's far too modest, Pam has a lot of technical
knowledge, food technology that is, not internet or web building
knowledge.
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
He
has half the deed done who has made a beginning.
