RECIPE BLOG
One of my best friends has been encouraging me for a while to start a blog. I wasn’t convinced to start with, as I just don’t really see myself as a ‘blogger’ but she soon made me realise that it would be fun to write about something I love and that other people might find interesting and useful too. So, here goes.

Happy baking.
