Hi,
I am Claudia and I am the author of this blog!
I have decided to start this blog because my favourite hobby is baking/cooking. I “lived and breathed” food since I was a child. My parents had a delicatessen (in Italian Salumeria) in Bari, my home town, for so many years and I literally grew up surrounded by food.
When I was 23 years old I moved to the UK.
When I moved to this beautiful country my life changed completely because here is where I met my wonderful husband Robbie (who takes care of the technical side of the blog) and here is where I discovered my passion for Food. You might think that I became a chef…wrong! I thought so many time about becoming a chef or a baker, and I still hear repeatedly some friends suggesting me to open my own bakery, but guys it’s not easy! I decided to leave this passion as a hobby, because I think that it’s more fun!
Seriously, one of the things that I really love about this hobby is to make friends and family happy with my food and see how much they enjoy it when they come around for dinner
I sometimes post pictures of what I bake on my Instagram page and I get asked questions like “where did you buy that cake from?” So I thought to open this blog where I can share recipes with everyone that asks me for them.
Just to be clear the recipes that you will find on this blog are not invented by me! I take inspirations from books, other blogs etc and sometimes I like to twist them as I wish.
I still have a lot to learn in the kitchen and therefore sometimes I approach recipes just to challenge myself. With this blog I want to share my learning path with you.
The other thing I really enjoy is food photography. I am not a good photographer and therefore the second objective for this blog is to take more and more pictures and become a better photographer.
So you might want to know what do I do for living? I work in the sales department of a Bakery in North London so as you can see I still “live and breath” food everyday 🙂
