Clevermuffin
I love to eat. Love to cook. I plan my week around what food I can cook, and who I can feed.
I’m a self taught cook, and most of my recipes are for tasty homely treats and meals you can make yourself. I’m sharing all the recipes I’ve pinched from other people. And also all the mistakes I’ve made. Most of my progress has come from realising things like, purple food dye and scrambled eggs is just not cool together, so hopefully you won’t have to (I was 9 at the time!). Enjoy!
