Happy birthday Flirty Foodie! A little over a year ago we put down our forks long enough to start a food blog. 365 days, 47 posts, dozens of mind-blowing meals, and countless glasses of vino later, we’re happy to report that our gym-less streak is still going strong.
To mark this caloric occasion, we’ve hand picked our favourite blog posts from the past year. You get a little bit of everything; recipes, edible exploits and enough wine to throw a Catalina wine mixer!
