How we ended up on the side
of a Spanish Mountain.

….and Absolutely Love It!


Happy Days with David and Pam





Hi - We’re David and Pam Lynn – thanks for coming to have a look at what makes us tick. We love the Mediterranean and specially the South of Spain where we have lived (on and off) for many years, and we have real Passion for Mediterranean Food and Recipes.

We left Spain in 1988 for family reasons and spent the next 16 years (it’s hard to believe it – time flies!) running Restaurants in Ireland and latterly in the North of England, where we had a Restaurant producing Mediterranean Food and a Catering company – catering mainly for Marquee Weddings.

In our Restaurant days friends and customers were always urging us to write down some of our recipes: “You Should write a book,” they would say. We never really fancied writing books, but really liked the idea of a website, but more of that later.


Back in Spain… But is all well?


December 2004 and we sold our house in England and headed back to Spain, where we belong. Back to West of Marbella, where we had lived happily for all those years in the seventies and Eighties.

But a lot of things can happen in 16 years – for a start we were 16 years older and the whole Coast had changed. Anyway we decided to make the best of it and opted to go back into catering in a small way – just catering a few small parties to keep our hand in.


It’s catering Pam…… But not as we knew it!


We put an ad. In the local paper for our catering service and straight away got a very interesting reply. A local businessman called and asked us to go and see him.

“Look,” he said, “I don’t want catering for a party but I do have 8 hungry guys here who are too busy to go out for lunch and need feeding every day. Can you do that? I’ll pay well.”

And so it started – soon we had 30+ business customers and were working seven days a week. Not exactly what we had had in mind when we left England. To make matters more complicated David had employed a web designer and started to build a Recipe website. The whole thing cost a fortune and we thought it looked really quite good – only one problem – nobody came to visit it!

We were so busy with the Lunch delivery business that the website was soon forgotten and vanished into the mists of time. But David stubbornly held onto the idea that a web based business would work, and that one day he would make it work.

We will either find a way or make one. Hannibal


He also pointed out that it would be a lot less work than 12 hours a day making Salads, Soup Sandwiches and Ready Meals for the local business community – if only he could get some kind of guidance from a professional.


Enter Dr. Ken Evoy and SBI


As it happened we did even better than that. A friend introduced David to Ken Evoy’s Site Build It in June of 2008 and we have been working on www.cutting-edge-mediterranean-recipes.com ever since. It is hard to exaggerate the power of SBI - we just love it! David has built over seventy web pages and learned to use photographs and graphics, and is now a dab hand at the block-by-block system on the website.

June 2009 Latest News: Now moved on to uploading my own HTML for the last 15 pages - So easy when you get into it!!!
David

Visitor numbers are doubling (and more) every month… Not Bad – when you consider we both turn 60 this year. And now something else has happened to make life even better.

It’s a New Dawn…. It’s a new Day


Yes – we’re on the move again. We’ve had a management buy-out… well of sorts, our chief girl – who has worked for us for the last three years is taking over the business Yippee! and we have found the perfect place to carry on our Mediterranean Recipe website.

A small Rustic Guest house in the village of Periana, nestling in the mountains of Eastern Malaga Province. David already has plans to build a wood-burning oven, a grill and a smoker for his Mediterranean Olive-wood and wild Fennel Smoked Salmon. Why not subscribe to our Mediterranean Recipe Blog for regular updates on his progress? We aim to make this website the definitive Mediterranean Recipe website and we’ll also be able to share some of our recipes with the guests who come to visit us in Periana.

Update: 14th May 2009


We have finally finished work on our NEW Bed and Breakfast Property in Periana in the Mountains behind Malaga and only 40 minutes from Malaga International Airport. Famous for its Verdial Olive Oil and Superb Peaches, you can visit us here and savour some of our Great Recipes. If you'd like to find out more - Click here to visit our Periana B and B Website
We'll make a Special Deal just for YOU.
Whether it's a Birthday or an Anniversary or just a get-together, it's like having your own Private Restaurant.

Meanwhile we would urge anyone who is interested in taking control of their destiny and making a profitable web based Business to have a look at SBI. Why not take the Video Tour We did and we’ve never looked back.

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


He has half the deed done who has made a beginning.
