Drop me a line!

My discovery was this - if you bring together a pile of unrelated and relatively boring ingredients together
under the right conditions, something brilliant will evolve. I've been relentlessly experimenting on friends and family
since this discovery, and it's developed into a mini addiction. And while I've never been one to follow recipes to a tee,
I'm definitely one to tinker with the rules.

Everything you'll find here is easy, relatively fast, practical, and accessible even for the most inexperienced beginner.
I'm a strong believer that anyone can learn to cook; that food is fun, artful, and brings people together.

Welcome to my blog. The recipes you'll find here are all created and photographed in my sunny little kitchen. Little as it might be though, it's where all the BIG action happens! Enjoy these recipes, and drop me a line if you have any questions or want to see something in particular. I'd love to hear from you.

Love Maggie.
