Hi.

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

 “This is my Mums awesome Bhel Puri

Bhel puri is a popular Indian savoury snack made with puffed rice, tossed with vegetables and tangy chutneys.

It is a quick & easy snack to prepare at home and is also served over road side stalls often in paper cones. Bhel puri is also available at most Indian joints and is served as a tangy and crunchy snack for teatime.

Bhel puri has a strong association with the city of Mumbai and is the dominant snack on the beaches of Mumbai, such as Chowpati and Juhu.” Julie from Felixstowe Honey
