It's always said that despite the fact that it's mostly women who do the cooking, all the greatest chefs are men.  Well, in blogging there appears to be some sort of role reversal.  Although male bloggers substantially outnumber female bloggers, the vast majority of food bloggers are female.  So I am always pleasantly surprised when a male food blogger gets in touch.  And Barry Gerber does not only have one food blog but two – What's Cooking?  is his English blog and Wat Eet Ons?  is his Afrikaans blog – so you could say he is doing more than his fair share to even the numbers out ;-)  Let's get to know him a little better.
