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

Chocolate Dipped Basil, Orange & Pistachio Biscuit - I think herbs in biscuits should be a thing, and if your willing to try this recipe, i'm convinced they will convince you too. So easy to make these biscuits, they have the perfect things i love in my sweet treats. The chewy crunch of pistachio nuts, the citrus hit of fresh orange zest and that aromatic ness of finely chopped basil leaves which for some reason makes me very happy indeed.
Chocolate Dipped Green Tea Biscuits
Tea isn’t just for drinking, its great as an infusion and used in cooking too!
My favourite tea is green tea, and my everyday preference for a hot tipple, is Clipper Organic Green Tea, loving the subtle flavour – not too strong for an everyday tipple, so because I like the flavour to be a little restrained in these biscuits, this is what I normally use in the batter.
Saffron & Pistachio Biscuits, a recipe that is so easy to make and once you’ve tried them, you’ll be addicted to their flavour and beautiful golden colour.
