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

Jun 4 Cauliflower Rice with Buttered Sweetcorn and Peas

Lee Majhen-Todd

This is seriously good cauliflower rice.

Garlicky, buttery and with a fresh hint of lime, it’s the perfect side dish to have with almost everything, and I do have it with almost everything.

Crispy Fried Cauliflower with Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce. This is a great recipe make to eat cauliflower. easy to make too! Eaten hot or cold, either is delicious.

If there is any left over from its first eating, breaking it up and adding it to an salad and dribbling the dip over the top is an another amazing way of eating it1

Aug 17 Spicy Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Coconut Dipping Sauce

Lee Majhen-Todd

This roasted cauliflower is perfect to eat hot or cold, so don’t be afraid to buy yourself a bigger cauliflower than you would normally need for the meal and enjoy it in lots of ways for the next day’s meal.

I couldn’t resist using Linda Bloomfieds manufactured plate, in very subtle green, to serve it on. It looks so pretty with the sauce running over the plate. I did have to resist having a finger dip :) If you want to see more of her amazing pretty ceramics, go over and have a browse.
