Why not start a recipe blog?

I’ve been baking since I was too little to touch the oven but I touched it anyway. I had access to a 1st Edition Edmonds Cookbook, an egg beater power not included, a green Tupperware bowl, the same crappy stove we all had back then that had 3 rings but only the little one at the back worked. It had 2 settings like the oven hot AF or off. If I was missing ingredients I took the wai wai express down to the dairy but if it was more than my pocket money I had to make do with what I had or wait for pay day & throw it in the supermarket trolley when Ma wasn’t looking.

Too impatient to wait (always have been) too much of a mischief tutu (always will be) can never be told I can’t do something (even now) and having a really bad sweet tooth I cracked on making the baking. By the time I left primary school I could make everything in the Edmonds cook book and these recipe cards that came free with the women’s day from memory, yup I hated reading so much I memorised all the recipes, & yes I must’ve been a freaky little handful, but I cleaned up the mess so all good 😊 

I love reading now & my memory isn’t what it used to be but I still remember & use the same recipes. They have changed over the years and I’ve adapted them to my own to my tastes or to whatever is in the cupboard or cause they’re better my way and those are the recipes we use for all Mama’s Desserts.

Over the years I have collected 100’s of recipe books but haven’t read any of them I brought them cause they look nice on the shelf. They’re dumb, it’s like they’ve been over complicated to make up for the fact they are someone else’s recipes. Mine are not. Mine are back to basics, easy az and I’m not trying to be something I‘m not so why not give you guys some to try cause if my kids can make them you can too.

Just an FYI I will never give up the recipes we use or intend on using in the shop the unoriginal down the line will copy the lot and say they’re hers.

And if it’s not obvious already, 99% of the time I’m overworked, under (lol I wish) never paid, sleep deprived and exhausted so if you are looking for a politically correct, PC blog with good spelling, good grammar & no occasional bad words used for passionate emphasis this blog is not for you.
