Hi there. I’m Helen, a 50 something food lover and I live in Dartmouth with my hubby and my hound! Welcome to My Delicious Devon blog. Come and join me on my foodie adventures and find out where, what and how to eat the best that Devon has to offer.
Foodie loves : a proper bacon sandwich, Prosecco, fresh summer berries and anything in a pie!
Foodie hates : tomato ketchup, gazpacho (long story) and anything served on a board that really should be on a plate!
Cheers to you,
Helen x
