Hi! I’m Aimee. I’m a home cook and baker over here in the UK trying to make things my friends and family will like to eat.
A born and bred Midwestern girl from the United States, I’ve been living in the United Kingdom for awhile so am constantly trying to convert one thing into another thing. I was lucky enough to grow up in an extended family of incredibly talented cooks, bakers, gardeners and preservers. We love to cook, we love to eat and we love to talk about it. The dinner table and family gatherings are always full of great food and even better company. I started this website for anyone who is in the trenches looking for inspiration.
My kitchen is a canteen, a bakery, a therapist’s office and a coffee shop. I wouldn’t have it any other way. And, as much as I love a complicated, show-stopping recipe, the truth is I’m generally looking for the fastest way to the most flavor with the least amount of clean up. I think you probably are, too. If it isn’t perfect, there’s always a next time. 🙂
I believe there is nothing better than spending time enjoying something wonderful with people you love so I hope you find some ideas for great food for your family and friends!
