Recipe Scrapbook

Hi there. My name is Ian, and this is my food blog. I call it my Recipe Scrapbook, because I would like this to be a blog with a difference. I believe that there are too many people out there who do not have "cooking confidence", people who would rather get a ready meal in the oven to be quick and easy, rather than freshly prepare their meals! People who would rather buy a cheap cake from the supermarket than go to the effort of making one themselves with a personal touch. Therefore, I would like to try and help you make fantastic recipes by sharing my cooking experiences with you.  

​

I have always loved cooking. This stems from spending time staying round my grans' house during school holidays and baking various cakes and desserts. She was my idol and is my inspiration in life. From Coffee Cake Puddings to Gypsie Creams, everything she baked was perfect in my eyes and this engaged me to study food further, which I did at degree level at University College Birmingham. My ambition is to educate the masses on food, to share a desire for good food and to inspire you in a similar way to how my gran inspired me!

I hope you enjoy the website. All feedback is welcome and I would be happy for you to comment below and tell me what you would like to see on the site!

Thank you!
