About This Blog

Hello dear readers,
This blog will be a place for me to write about my 3 of my favourite hobbies - Baking, Cooking, and Growing Veg.
Baking
I have always loved to bake, and have been doing so since a child. Its only perhaps in the last few years though, that I have Picked up the pace, and turned into a real hobby. To me baking is my stress relief. I love trying new recipes and learning new techniques. Of course, getting to eat some tasty treats is also a great bonus. I will endeavour where possible to link to the original source of my recipe. I will try and detail any changes or adjustments if I make any - lets face it, we all like to tinker.
Cooking
A real interest in cooking great meals has been steadily growing for a few years now. I love food, and making great tasting meals is always such a pleasure - better still if I can share this with my family. It is important to me to use good quality ingredients, and where possible, I try and use British produce, or Organic. This desire for quality ingredients brings me to the last of my 3 hobbies, Growing Veg.
Growing Veg
A couple of years ago, I thought I would try growing a couple of veg in pots (just carrots, onions, and potatoes). It was a reasonable success. I made a few mistakes but learned from them. The following year, I decided to take the plunge, and do it on a slightly larger scale.  
My husband and I built 3 raised beds, and added a few more veggies to the list (sweetcorn, tomatoes, peas, parsnips, squash). Once again, there was some successes and some failures.
This year, I plan on sticking to the previous veggies, but also add in some spinach and savoy cabbage.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you visit again to join me in this adventure.
