My name is Mark, and I have a fascination with food, restaurants, cafés, hotels, sustainable and ecologically sound farming and free-range everything.
I started this blog in 2014, but with over 30 years experience, I've dedicated myself to show you the best of culinary world in a nice friendly and easy to consume way.

I love brisket! Just can't get enough of it, and smoking it Texas style, you want a nice smoke ring, and decent bark. These two things come together to add an amazing feature to one of my favourite dishes. Thus, Smokebark was born.
