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

Chicken, Leek & Yellow Pepper Tart, a recipe I make for a light lunch, when friends come over for an afternoon of chats or as part of an afternoon alone when I just want to get my book out and munch on something comfortable and full of flavour.
You know I love chicken, so more often than not there’ll be some part of a chicken in my fridge, and this is another way I get to use every bit of the leftovers.
Chicken Soup & Bacon Tortilla Pie - A pie but not pie! A super easy pie using soft tortillas instead of pastry. This easy pie uses soft tortillas as the pastry and still tastes great. No need to spend ages making pastry , just use pantry ingredients to make this inexpensive, budget, low cost family pie that will make everyone in the family smile and say Yummmm!
Gin, rhubarb and tomato chicken thighs may sound a little strange, but added together, it gives a sauce that you’ll have to get out the chunky bread to dip. Don’t waste a drop of it! I used G & Tea Cream Tea Gin, but whichever gin you like to drink, is perfect to make this sauce.
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.
