Hello, my name is Laura, For as long as I can remember I have loved being in the kitchen, It has been a hobby that has seen me through the highs and lows of life, it creates happiness and calm in my soul and I have, for the past few years, wanted to create a place where all my recipes can live together, so here we are. I have of course toyed with the idea of writing a cook book, which in time I would love to do but for now this is the place I need to be.
I am in "real life" a Nurse, I work A LOT and I am also studying for a masters in Dementia care which takes up lots of my time. In saying that though, I wouldn't change any of that for the world. I have come to the conclusion this past while that I need something else. I did try writing a blog a few years ago but I think that my opinions are best kept to myself at times when it comes to the blogging world. But food, when it comes down to it food is my passion, it is the true me, something that isn't Instagram, or Facebook, something that isn't trying to keep up with everyone else, or to stand out from the crowd in a Tick Tok video. Food to me is pure passion and love, food sustains us, it is creativity, love and sees us through the good and bad in life. When you look at life, we both celebrate and commiserate.
I want this to be a place where I can share my inspirations. From the the home cooks I aspire to be, to the chefs I love and admire. I hope to share lots of my own recipes, ideas, hints and tips of how I cook in my own kitchen here in our home at Dibney Cottage. My aim is to keep my recipes short and easy to follow for all. I have a few recipes that are quintessentially me, a few I constantly experiment with and some that may seem a little strange but they are simply divine and I cannot wait to share them all with you.
So, here we go, it's time for some cooking, baking and happy homemaking
Bon Appetit
