Baker & Foodie Content Creator
My name is Lee, welcome to my pages. I hope we can have fun together?
When I’m not developing recipes for others, writing guest blogs, writing my own blog, or even trying to learn how to paint, I’m usually spending time with the amazing Mr G (my husband) or with my lovely daughter or my lovely son (very proud mum).
What is this all about? Great question. This site is about real cooking and baking, real recipes and real mistakes.
No filters here, (although i’d love to find a filter that can take ten years worth of laugh lines away. Just me, whats happening, and whatever cameras or phone i have to hand .
There are many things that get under my bonnet and wiggle around, one of those is food waste. If i buy ingredients specifically for a recipe, and i only need a small amount of the ingredients, i want to be able to use the rest up and not have to throw them away. My mum used to say , “Waste not Want not” is that still a saying ?
For me, waste is not just about using up all the ingredients. What about leftover food? If i’m able , i hope to give ideas as to how to use up any leftovers too.
Be Brave
Cooking isn’t hard , neither is baking, its all about being brave and being ok with making mistakes

Brown Butter, Whisky, Walnut Tart. This tart is rich with the brown nutty butter, sweet form the mix of brown sugars and has a kick from the whisky. The pastry is delicate and perfectly caramelised to hold that amazing filling. Family style or just for you, its worth making.
A recipe for Lime Melting Moments with Fresh Lime ButtercreamFinding a biscuit recipe that’s both creamy and firm is a dream and that’s what the custard powder in the recipe does, while keeping the biscuits crumbly enough to melt in my mouth. Hence the name, melting moments!
Lime is a particular flavour favourite of mine, a change up from lemon and a little fresher and zinger rather than zesty flavour.
No Yeast Orange Raisin Cinnamon Buns with glaze. Why wait for all that rising, this recipe doesn’t use yeast so no need to wait to eat these fabulous baked buns. Using Greek yoghurt and self raising flour for the dough means that the rising is done in the oven. A crispy top with melted butter and cinnamon sugar makes these pull apart cinnamon buns perfect for Christmas..But don’t wait until the festive season to enjoy them, bake them all year for a delicious treat.
