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 one pot meal
One of the easiest dishes I make, and because of that and the fact it goes so well with so many things, I make it as often as I can get away with.
One Pot Coconut Dhal recipe - I love to eat it with my favourite protein, warm chicken, with a plate of Greek yoghurt flat bread next to it to mop up every drop.
Because its vegetarian, my vegetarian friends love it just as much, but they forgo the chicken and have chunks of roasted aubergine instead.
Smoky Sausage, Squash & Celeriac Bake -Lack of time doesn’t have to mean lack of flavour.
Sausages are an economical ingredient and added to some great vegetables coated in a great sauce is the perfect package for a quick meal without having to spend an age preparing it or standing over it while it cooks.
One Pot Chicken, Bacon & Parsnip Curry with Chick Peas & White Beans recipe has no grinding and is perfect for a mid week comfort meal for all the family.
Easy to make and easy to eat , packed full of parsnips and beans a great dish to use up some of those tinned beans and chickpeas. Pantry ingredients cooked in the best way
One Pot Coconut Milk & Turmeric Baked Chicken Thighs with Spring Greens & Potatoes
A chicken dish that you can serve to your family and any guests. Remember the days when we could invite people to our houses to eat? This is the dish to share with your friends but don’t forget the the chunks of bread to sook up all that incredible sauce.
