An Introduction

Hi and thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog post!

I am delighted to welcome you to my little space on the internet and to invite you to my home through my kitchen.

I didn’t start taking cooking seriously until very recently – nor did I ever think I’d be taking the time to share my recipes and tricks with people just like you online, but it’s been a great experience so far.

I’m so thankful for every single person who tests and enjoys my recipes; you have no idea how much you encourage me to keep pottering around in my little kitchen and not to give up – even if it is difficult at times to manage it all as well as normal life.

Well! I think I’ve said enough already!
