About me

I'm Mary, a British mum of four lovely daughters living in the USA. I have discovered that along with motherhood comes a demand for a certain degree of culinary competence, of which I have very little.


A defining moment came as I was starting out of my kitchen window, listening to the hungry howls of my demanding brood. I was not only going to have to feed them again that day, but every day for the next eighteen years, give or take the odd meal out and the life saving invention of pizza delivery. To my horror I worked out that meant approximately 6570 dinners! I mean honestly, that's practically a career!


That's when the penny dropped, I was going to have to learn how to COOK. I mean really cook, roasting ,braising, cakes, tarts, meringues, soups and stews. I threw down the gauntlet, took on the challenge and one meal at a time, I now try to feed my family the most delicious, nutritious and heart warmingly nurturing meals I possibly can.


This is my story, told through my kitchen, with all it's triumphs and disasters, through which I uncovered a rather unexpected and deep love for cooking.
