Hi, my name is Becca, and I am slightly odd student. Slightly odd because before I embarked on my degree (which is English Lit, since you ask), after travelling, trying to 'find myself', I spent a year working in the pastry section for a fine dining restaurant, and this is where I really did find what was important to me and what got me excited - food. Specifically, yummy gooey, chocolatey delicious treats that, let's be honest, get most of us excited. Well, after a year of working there, I realised I enjoyed my life too, which I was severely missing out on, so I left and decided to do the sensible thing and get a degree. Trouble is, I still crave that element of creativity and an outlet for my foodie obsessions. So here I am, starting this blog, while I study, as a way of saving friends and family from the endless conversations (is it still a conversation when one person just talks AT the other one??) about all things food. So, I hope to give you great recipes, and share my experiments in the kitchen (good and bad!) along the way. Good luck to us all!! Becca xxx

Rich Indulgent Chocolate Cake
Cake is the answer to all problems. There is nothing that cake can't make you feel better about (except maybe feeling sick from too much cake...but let's not focus on that). And when cake is on the cards, why do it half-heartedly? I baked the most ri...
Carrot Cake Extroadinaire!
