Photography has been my hobby for many years and so has cooking. I am by no means a seasoned chef. Most of the recipes on here are new challenges for me, but I love trying new things, and I've discovered a real love for baking (especially desserts, as you can probably tell) The majority these recipes are my original recreations. There are a few family recipes and some adaptations of existing recipes. I will rarely post an exact copy of a source's recipe because I love to fiddle with ingredients.
