Katie cooks

Hello I'm Katie

I'm a passionate home cook who has recently taken the plunge and given up my day job to help others to discover just how great home cooking can be.

When I moved out with my husband after having my mum do all the cooking I decided it was time to teach myself.

Turns out Im pretty good at it and made it to the quarter finals of BBC1 Best Home Cook competition!!

Since then I've discovered an even deeper passion for cooking and I am always looking to learn new recipes and techniques, but sometimes I find them bit 'wordy' or hard to follow..(I don't have a huge attention span) so I promise that NONE of my recipes are like that.. put simply I love to cook with humble ingredients and elevate them with as few a steps as possible.
