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 easy flaky pastry
The best apple pie recipe because it has best flaky pastry and its a mound of apples in the centre which, for me, aren't over flavoured. I like to taste apples in my apple pie. its easy to make and once you've added the pastry to your family recipe book, it's one i think you'll go back to again and again.
Chicken, Leek and Bacon Pie with Quick Vodka Flaky Pastry is the perfect pie to make for a family get together. Made with quick vodka flaky pastry is full of flavour with a flaky golden lid. And yes, it does have a layer pf pastry underneath, other wise it's just a stew with a lid.
Asparagus Tart with Wild Garlic Butter Flaky Pastry recipe is one of the easiest savoury tart to make and really showcases the summers crop pf asparagus.
Using wild garlic butter to make the quick flaky pastry is a game changer, and the pastry takes this tart from something good to something great.
