About Me! Michael Catling18 May 201504 views Welcome to Fuel My Plate! My name is Michael Catling and this is my online kitchen for recipes, meal planning and tips on how to shop smarter for less. I am a journalist by trade and a passionate home cook from a small town in Cambridgeshire. I created this website as a resource to educate, inspire and share my food journey, which began during Covid by hosting supper clubs and engaging in private catering gigs during my spare time. Since then, I have spent the last five years formulating more than one hundred original recipes, ranging from fancy fakeaways and one-pot wonders to meat-free meals and speedy breakfasts. My culinary influence and tastes are pretty varied and I like to put my own spin on dishes with a healthy or modern twist (think apple pie spring rolls, a bolognese risotto and tandoori duck tacos). I’ve also included plenty of tips and tricks on how to plan ahead, shop smarter and maintain a healthy, balanced diet with a few clever swaps along the way. All that’s left for you to do is to pick up those ingredients and get cooking! For more inspiration, follow me on Instagram (Chef_Catling).
