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
All tagged cooking with tomatoes
This is my recipe for meatballs after revisiting Ikea, buying my usual large portion of their meatballs and realising they were now rubbish. With the addition of my oven dried tomatoes, which give even more flavour, they are so easy to make. The cream sauce is rich and very very moreish. Great for a family meal to serve with mash potato or chips.
Avocado & Fresh Tomato Salsa Recipe.
Fresh salsa is a joy to eat and so easy to put together that it seems silly to buy it if I’ve the ingredients to hand, and the ingredients are so easy to get hold of, so why not?!
The addition of the avocado in this salsa gives it a creamy edge, the freshness is brought by the fresh lime juice and zest, and of the tomatoes, of course add body and make the salsa have a juicy and thirst-quenching mouth feel.
