About
Welcome to my website. I hope that it will be interesting and informative for you!
About Me
My name is Aidan. I was born in East London and grew up in Romford, a small town in the Northeast suburbs of London. After finishing secondary school, I studied Chemistry at UCL in London. My intentions were to study as well as I could and then get a job working at the University. However, God’s plans were different! I felt like He was calling me to go and live and work abroad. I applied to IFES, an organization involved in student ministry, and was accepted. After spending some time in Austria, I realised that it was my calling to get involved in the Romanian speaking world and so I have now spent quite a bit of time living and working in first Romania and currently Moldova.
When I was growing up, I was always very health conscientious. I played a lot of sport and faithfully went for a run around the local park every Saturday and Sunday morning. Alongside this, I did my best to avoid junk food and eat as healthily as I could. I guess this is where my passion and interest in healthy food, especially Italian came from. I had some ambitions in this area which is where the name and original form for this website came from. (Hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time!).
There’s more than just Parmesan
With time, this site has transformed into more of a meditation on important things. Not that healthy food isn’t important, but it’s not the main thing!
“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:8
Some people live only for Parmesan, but I hope to encourage you that there are actually other true delights to spice up our lives by the grace of God!
There are some adverts and Amazon links on this site, as well as a donation link. This is not an attempt to get rich, but rather my thinking was that if I could earn some money via this website, I would then invest it in helping people and the ministry in Moldova that I am involved in. We will see what God’s plan will be!
If you ever need a hand or have any questions, feel free to leave them below and I will be more than happy to help you out.
All the best,
Aidan Benbow
