About
Welcome to FrugalFeeding, the champion of recipes which fall on the frugal side of gastronomy. If eating delicious, wholesome and sensibly sourced food on a budget appeals to you, and I rather suspect it does, further exploration is not necessary. Those with a penchant for caviar, however, need not apply.
FrugalFeeding is a concept formed out of a desire to eat through less of my not very hard earned money while studying history at the University of Bristol in 2011. However, since leaving university (successfully) my designs on frugality have been allowed to come to fruition and the original concept has been replaced by a vision which would have everyone eating cheaply and ethically.
On a personal level, I am a budding writer and hope to soon break into the field of journalism. Indeed, if you’d like to offer me any work or have any ideas for collaboration please visit my contact page and send me an e-mail – I’m an amiable kinda guy and revel in unsolicited contact.
My interests include drinking inordinate amounts of coffee (or tea), reading, music (particularly classical) and having a jolly good time with my smashing girlfriend, Katherine (who often lends a hand in frugal food preparation).
On a more serious note, please don’t use my photos without asking, as 99% of them are taken by my good self – stealing them would be a little rude. Also if you wish to re-post one of my recipes you needn’t ask, but please link back to this blog once you have.

I really like that apple drawing in your banner and I agree that potato and leek soup should be chunky!
So now you’ve graduated will we start seeing recipes for lobster bisque amongst the more frugal (but tasty) food?
Well I thought that might, sort of, be the case. But I find myself hating over spending on food. It’s more a principle than a necessity – it has been for a while…
I LOVE your blog. And I have always believed in frugal feeding/eating. good food shouldn’t cost you a leg and an arm. Thank you for visiting my site. I subscribed to yours, because your meals are all appetizing. I can’t wait to give them a try in my cramped kitchen.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you like it! Yours is good too, it just sort of seems to make sense!
What a creative young man you are. I like your food.
Why thank-you :D. I suppose I am quite young.

Thanks! I shall, I loves it!

Very inspiring blog…..and interesting posts.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for visiting my blog. Your recipes look wonderful and now I am getting hungry. : ) Will def be back.
Thanks very much, I hope you are!
Your scope is amazing. I really enjoy the fact that you include so many cultures in your cooking-keeps the kitchen from falling in a rut. Your philosophy hits home, especially during our economic difficulties. Inspirational!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for commenting on my sausage-and-garbanzos recipe. I’m glad you did because it prompted me to take a look at your lovely blog. Nice photos and recipes. Looks like you live well–something I love to do!
Thanks so much! I really do 😀 I love your blog also
Thanks for your suggestion for the custard tart. Yes, more than custard, I love Custard Pie! That will be another day but you are so right. Kathy Combs
So glad you commented on my blog! I love yours! Super straight forward and USEFUL. Added to my google reader 🙂
Thanks so much! 😀
Thanks for checking out my blog! Are you in Aber uni? Brilliant blog idea btw, I’m never one to turn down ways to economise. I’ll definitely be following!
Thanks, yes please come back!
have you seen the Hip Girl’s Guide to Homemaking? It’s frugal homemaking tips – nothing lavish or too ‘Martha stewart expensive. just practical stuff. I thought you might like it as well.
Nope, but thanks for the info. I shall check it out! It’s funny, if I got this I’d have two cookbooks that belonged to me… one has housewife in the title, the other Hip Girl… hmmm
Great blog! Thank you for visiting mine and commenting. I will subscribe to your blog now.
Thanks so much! No problem. Glad you’ll come back.
I love your blog and thank you for stopping by… that is how I found you. I have enjoyed my time and will return….RaeDi
Thanks so much 😀
This is a great blog! Especially for a grad student who is trying to eat healthy on a budget!
Awesome. I’m glad you’ve found it useful… maybe because I’m a recent graduate 😀
I’m excited about this blog! I’ve always been one to eat out but living in NYC that gets crazy expensive. Recently I have been looking for cheap recipes to make and now I have a place to find them. THANKS!
Thanks so much, I really hope you make some – let me know if you do!
This blog is fabulous! Am always looking for inexpensive but fabulous recipes… I shall be back on yours as well 🙂
Sounds like my kind of blog! Looking forward to your recipes! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much 😀 There is another in the works as we speak.
NICE/thanks for checking out my peach cake recipe/and I love that I found your blog.
Thanks so much 😀 I love your recipe!
Thanks for the comment, and I’m glad we share a love for Tabbouleh! Love your food philosophy, and your photos : )
First off, thank you for your comments on my blog — and I apologize for being so slow to comment on yours. (If only we didn’t have to work… lol.) I “stretch” meals as often as I can, too — not only because of our budget, but for the fun of it and the sense of satisfaction. (Whatever results in a tasty morsel, a little ambience, and fodder for tomorrow’s food adventures, eh?) 🙂 Nice to learn you’re a viola player — I’ve met more “musical foodies” since joining the ranks. Keep up the great writing and recipes!
Oh I don’t mind :P. I know my new jobs are killing my blogging activities some days – it makes me sad. I love playing viola 😀 I think it helps me in my cooking too. I’m really glad you enjoy my blog. Please keep coming back 😀
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on What About This?. My daughter just graduated with honors in history, too. She’s now trying to find a job!
Oh awesome. I hope she does well! I hope I do well too 😛
Great blog idea! I enjoy cooking but I am often blown away by the costs of all the ingredients when it is said and done…I will check back often~ 🙂
Thanks :D. I hope you do.
Found your blog quite by chance and so glad that I did. Reading your bio above, reminded me of the time my youngest son was in Uni.
From an early age he had “helped” me with the cooking/baking and by the time he got to Uni he was more than capable of looking after himself on the food front, even though some of the recipes he devised owed more to shortage of money than the art of cooking!!
Fast forward a few years – he still enjoys cooking and bakes a very delicious coffee cake.much to his wife’s delight!!
Thank you for provoking those memories, i enjoyed reading your blog, well done. Perhpas we can swap recipes some time?
Dee
I’m glad you did too :). I really need to post a coffee cake, I do keep meaning too. I might it into a loaf as I have a very pretty new loaf tin. I’d love it if you came back from time to time :). Sure we can swap too.
Very cool blog! I’d love to add you to my blog roll!
Thanks! Please do, I always like that 😀
I got invited to a fun blog game with the “Versatile Blog” award, and I thought I would pass it on to you… hence I linked your blog into a post on mine. Thanks for the amazing recipes here!
Awesome! My second. I’m so glad you enjoy.
Hello there from Canada! Just read your blog and really enjoyed your writing and your flair with food. I found your pastry blog quite interesting….being a farm girl we had pies in the oven all day long! I enjoy cooking with seasonal foods and try to add some zip to them….i used to do dessert catering and had a tea room in a restored Victorian era general store…as well as teach full time…and raise my son on my own….now I’m retired and read blogs like yours and cook when I feel like it…or not!
Hello from Wales :D. Thanks so much!
Just wanted to let you know that I nominated you for an award on my blog today 🙂 http://wp.me/p1hj6p-3x Thanks for being inspiring!
I just nominated you the Versatile Blogger Award on my page today.
All of your food looks absolutely delicious!
Thanks so much!
Hey! You commented on my blog today so naturally I had to check yours out 🙂 first of all-thanks for the comment! Secondly, your blog is awesome. Will def add it to my blog roll. You’ve got some awesome sounding recipes!
Thanks so much! I enjoyed your blog too.
thank you, darling!
http://yinzerella.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/monday-night-quickie-frugal-pad-thai/
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting about my pear butter. It is delicious, indeed. Nice site, here, I must say.
I hope you come back!
I love the idea and story behind this blog. In many ways I can relate – believe it or not I’m also in my final year of my BA. I feel my life-consuming (albeit enjoyable) blog was born out of procrastination… or procrasti-baking as I know like to call it.
I will definitely be back!
Thanks so much :). I just sort of woke up and wanted to start mine, not quite sure why, but I love it.
Loving your work. Check out our reviews some time.
Very good, Nick. See what happens when I’m not living near you.
Love your photographs! Nicely done. My blog looks so desolate in comparison. Will have to give it a shot -didn’t intend the pun-when I get a lull in my aromatherapy endeavors. I like cooking but I love aromatherapy! Did you know you can combine the two? I’ve made a fabulous Potato and Bacon soup with Black Pepper essential oil from the cookbook Aroma by Aftel and Patterson. Looking forward to making the Savory Scones. They look delicious! I am “following” you now.
Thanks so much! I’d never considered combining the two, haha.
Hey, I put you up for the “Versatile Blogger Award”! Hope you would like to participate! Check it out:
Thanks! 😀
Hi. I really admire your approach to life with your methods of sustenance and non waste. My wife & I live in a similar way, spending very little and cooking fresh meals every day.
I love your blog as it’s very inspirational with great editorial and high quality pictures. I think that more of us should reclaim food skills that have been left behind in recent times. I come from Ireland and here, especially in the countryside, people are very tuned in to eating, acquiring & growing their own food. Do you grow any of your ingredients?
Thanks so much! this is a really nice thing to hear. I grow a number of my ingredients – herbs, potatoes, tomatoes, chickens, apples, runner beans. We also pick damsons, blackberries, plums and more! It’s always better this way.
Fantastic! There is nothing better than to grow food, harvest & then cook it.
I’m in total agreement.
Your site looks great… I especially love your food photos. They’re incredibly eye-catching! Any tips for a newbie food blogger?
Thanks, I do try my hardest. I don’t really know about tips, but I would say that you have to invest a lot of time if you want a successful blog.
Hi There,
Just wanted to let you know that I love your blog and have nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award in my latest post;
Cheers, Rhoda
Thanks so much, Rhoda! 😀
Love your blog. Found you today after you liked my last post. Can’t wait to look through all of your recipes! I love the concept of saving money and cooking wonderful food without spending a fortune on it!
Thanks so much! I’m so glad I made the click 😀 Enjoy them!
Hey there, thanks so much for stopping by my blog, glad to have bumped into you. You have such a nice blog with some yummy recipes. Can’t wait to spend more time here! 🙂
No problem! I love reading loads and loads of recipes :), everyone deserves compliments for what they do. I’m glad you like my blog!
Greetings from Austin, TX, USA!
Thanks so much for your kind comment about the Turkey & Spinach Loaf!
I love your recipes as well & will definitely be checking your blog!
Have a good one! Michele (http://disasterplanc.wordpress.com/)
Hi there! I do hope you return!
Hi, Frugal Feeding Master!
Thanks so much for liking my blog. I’m a total newbie when it comes to food blogging, and I’m excited to connect with other folks who love to cook and eat delicious fare. Can’t wait to try out some of the recipes you’ve offered on your blog.
I shan’t argue with that… Good luck with the blog, please return 😀
I am loving your recipes, do you recommend anything particular meaty? Also, I play the violin and piano! Just saying ;-). Good to meet other likeminded people x
Ummm! I couldn’t choose! Have a browse!
Just wanted to say thank you. What a wonderful blog.
No, thank you!
As a university student, I give you massive applause for your blog!
:]
Thanks so much 🙂
Thanks for your comment on my blog. It’s much appreciated as I’m an aged blogging novice who’s still not sure as to what the hell she’s doing. I hope you enjoy the recipe. I love your blog and your recipes and will happily tweet references to it. Best Wishes. Joan
No problem 😀 You’ll find your way 🙂
Oh Yes! I love this blog already and I’ve barely digged in. Thanks for stopping by my blog 😉
I’m so glad you like it!
I was wondering if you have a good recipe to share for mushy peas? My best friend, who is like a brother to me, is from Wigan and he is always wanting some mushy peas from home. I have seen a lot of recipes but don’t really know an authentic recipe. His parents still live over there and come to visit about 4 months out of the year to Orlando, FL where we live. I am hoping to make a visit over to see them one day. I have never been and would love to!
I’m afraid I haven’t… I’m not a big fan of peas in general and I can’t imagine anything worse than mushy peas 😀 People from that end of our country love that sort of thing mind you. Do you have chip shops where you live? If you do, get a portion from there, he’ll love it.
I am ok with peas, but mushy ones don’t really appeal to me either! The chip shop idea is a great one! I will have to look into that! Thanks!
No problem 😀
Hey there! Thanks for liking my post on my blog! I’m just starting out on this food blog voyage and loving it!
No problem! I hope you continue and don’t turn back.
Thanks for your comment on my blog! I have enjoyed reading yours and look forward to more. I totally agree that eating well should not cost a fortune. With some decent cooking skills it is possible to nearly always produce better food than you can find out.
No problem! I’m glad you enjoy mine! 😀
Thanks for stopping by The BamaSteelMagnolia’s (TM) Bistro and taking a look at my Pecan Pie. Love your blog! Some fantastic recipes and pictures. Keep up the good work 🙂
No problem 😀 Glad you enjoy the blog and I shall be keeping it up.
great blog! found you through my moqueca post…your recipes look delicious!
Glad you found me! Thanks for checking them out.
I enjoyed reading your blog so much that I nominated you for a Versatile Blogger Award. Congrats!
Thanks so much! 😀 I shall check the nomination out.
Hi FF, loving your blog and all it’s English wonderfullness – may be slightly envious of the cold weather you’re having – 30 degrees and 80% humidity do little to invoke Christmas cheer for me here in Brisbane, Australia. Thankfully, your recipe ‘Ena’s Gingerbread’ did. I’ve posted it and linked to you – check it out; I loved it so hopefully I’ve done it justice 😀
Merry Christmas to you and yours (and especially to Ena for sharing!),
Alex
Thanks so much. I’m very proud of my English wonderfulness. I love the cold weather. Yes, hot weather now would be weird. I have done, thanks! Merry Christmas to you too. she’ll be made up when she realises it’s been made in Australia.
My Palestinian Grandmother used to make the best Lentil Soup. She refused to give anyone the recipe though. I have yet to find one that could compare, but the search continues.
Do you have any lentil soup recipes?
I don;t think I have something that’s specifically a lentil soup recipe, though I’ll post one soon if you like!
That’d be great! I can tell you that she was a bit of a healthy nut, but thrifty to a fault. So my best guess is that she kept the ingredients fairly basic. Thanks again I look forward to seeing what you come up with : )
Yes, I shall give it a try VERY soon. I’m on a health kick after the festive period.
Really loving your blog and wanted to nominate you for the Versatile Blogger! Kinda a fun thing that’s now circulating, if you already haven’t participated… details can be found:
Looking forward to reading much more!
Thanks so much :D. Perhaps I shall try it myself some time soon!

Have so enjoyed your posts this year, and look so forward to a frugal 2012. Happy new year!
Thank you so much! Here’s to another year!
Love your blog and your philosophy. I’m frugal where it make sense, but for me, some foods will always be worth the splurge (Parmigiano-Reggiano).
Happy New Year to you 🙂
Thanks! Oh, trust me, I don’t shirk the nice ingredients either. This blog is about being economical, not necessarily ridiculously cheap or rash 😀
Thanks for becoming a follower of my blog! I’ve added you to my blog under ‘other foodie blogs’ so anyone reading my blog could get to yours. It would be lovely if you could do the same for me and list me under your blogroll. Thanks. Looking forward to reading you often!
Thanks for checking out nellsdish! I’m looking forward to exploring Frugal Feeding now. With a baby on the way – I could stand to get a little more frugal with my feeding! 🙂 cheers.
No problem, thanks for returning the checking! Ah yes, money saving is always good though.
I love the voila. I played it for quite a few years when I was younger.

This is a wonderful compilation of recipes! I had a friend tell me about what you are doing so I decided to check it out. I am so glad I did. As a young woman about to start out on my own, frugal cooking is a must. Thank you so much for your work here. Your food is not processed and I can feel good about serving my boyfriend some meals he will love.
Thank you and thanks to your friend. I’m glad you enjoy! I’d appreciated any comment you have on individual dishes 😀

Awesome – thanks!
Hi – and let me tell you I really enjoy your blog! You write very well.
I enjoy making most things from scratch and that in itself saves beau coup dollars over the year and we know what’s actually in a dish. I am trying to keep alive good home cooking that’s full of flavour without breaking the bank.
(I’m just learning how to navigate a blog so bear with me.)
Cheers!
Colleen/aka/Jilly
Thanks! A compliment indeed. I hope you get to grips with blogging very soon – it took me a little while.

Thanks! I do have a bit of a passion :D.
Your food looks delicious!
Thanks so much, Deena.
Sweet! Love your blog, the premise, your writing style, and the fantastic photos. I just kept scrolling through them- couldn’t make myself stop. And then I realized you’re the cardamom cookie guy from Baker Bettie’s Sunday contest. Your recipe is on tap for this weekend, I just hadn’t actually made it to your site yet. Brilliant 🙂 Thanks for the awesome posts!
Thanks! I’m glad you stumbled across my blog in the end. Enjoy the cookies!

Hey FF.. thanks for liking my blog. Love yours. Love that you’re frugal.. Frugal can be delicious. I’ll be coming back for sure.
No problem – I glad you like mine too! I look forward to seeing you here again soon!
Nick – I thought that you and your followers might like to see this excerpt from a book I am reading..
” In Tresloves’ eyes Hephzibah didn’t so much cook as lash out at her ingredients, goading and infuriating them into taste. No matter what she was preparing she always had at least five pans on the go, each of them big enough to boil a cat in………”
I like it! Is that from The Finkler Question? Thanks!
It is indeed. Highly recommended.
Perhaps I could borrow it when you finish it? 😀
Thanks for looking by my blog! Love your pictures. The colours are so vibrant I wanna reach in and grab me some;-)
No problem at all! You’re another person wanting to reach into their monitors… what a funny fascination my readers have 😀 Thanks!
Love your blog! Beautiful photos! I am trying to learn about photography for my blog. Just getting started, but maybe one day my photos will look like yours!
Thanks! Start reading up on it and practice, practice, practice!
Thanks for liking my post. Looking forward to checking out your blog.
No problem – I hope you like it!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking the post…. 🙂 🙂
No problem, Deepa!
Some fantastic and inspiring pics on your site. Nice job
Thanks! I’m glad you think so 🙂
Will be following your blog for inspiration for my goal over here at SavvySingle Suppers to get more single folks making their own delicious meals. I believe it isn’t necessary to spend a lot of money for delicious meals (or clothes or home decore, but I digress). And your masterful photography will certainly convince people of this position!
Awesome! Exactly… though I REALLY like my expensive clothes 😀 – they tend to fit and last better (I think it’s more economical to buy expensive clothes). Thanks, Susan.
Hi, and thank you for liking my post “The St. Hubert Logo: A Psycho-Engineered Image?” I find your blog interesting and plan on getting some ideas from it. See you around!

The Japanese don’t have ovens – just stoves. I’m going to buy one soon though it is a 20th the size of a conventional oven! I’ll post a photo when I get one.
I had no idea! I look forward to seeing it!
Hello Frugal,

Hi Frugal, I’ve nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award – please check out: http://thesinglegourmetandtraveller.wordpress.com/2012/10/13/very-inspiring-blogger-award/ for badge and info. Seems a good way to spread the blogging word. Kay
Thanks, so much Kay! I checked it out 🙂
It was when I was a student that I began my love of cooking and the books I bought were “Cooking in a Bedsitter” and “The Pauper’s Cookbook”! Frugality gives you the freedom to experiment and get away with combinations you might not dare risk when you have graduated to more affluent times…
It does indeed! I guess it forces you into looking after yourself properly.
Ahhhh hello awesome blog ! Thanks for the ” like” on my post as I would not have found you so soon. Am already drooling at your recipes and excited to get cooking 🙂
Thanks! I’m glad you think so. I hope you like whatever you make 🙂
Amazing blog..absolutely phenomenal.. I L.O.V.E food!

Thank you for liking my blog! I love your apple drawing up top and am looking forward to reading your future postings.

Awesome! Thanks. I like it when people share 🙂

Haha I don’t think the stuff I tried was the highest grade – they just sell it in jars at the supermarket deli!
Hey, not only nice recipes but also very nice food photos. Really nice blog!
Thanks so much 🙂

hey there.
Thanks for visiting:)
Your ears must have been burning as I was just tearing my hair out today and the last few weeks about food, eating well and tasty food on a minimal budget…I lost my job about 3-4 weeks ago so now it is becoming doubly important…and it ain’t easy with 3 large sons and hubby and 1 of them very fussy.. I think he will be starving soon:)
.But your recipes may help me stop killing my greedyboys:)
Looking forward to next posts:)
greedybread & i love Lucca 🙂
Thanks for liking my post. It is some vindication that I am actually giving valid advice. Also, this blog looks delicious (ambiguity intended).
I plan to cook a lot of your recipes. A food-gasm is expected.
Thanks for taking the time and visit my blog and for the like. Really do like yours and the idea of good and healthy food that wont cost to much. Look forward to read more. Lou
ciao! luvFAB blog.

http://naturaleuphoria.com/2012/11/26/the-very-inspiring-award/
Great blog, especially good to see attention being given to making veggie food more accessible. It takes longer to make a really tasty veggie meal than something with meat I think, but it’s definitely a true test of a good palate!
Thanks – I disagree, it can be just as speedy!
Thanks! Definitely! I love veggie food!
Hello, I like what you’re doing here. On my own blog I’m building up a ‘recommended’ list and since my focus is on science, I’ve avoided recommending foodie blogs. But you’re now on my list!
Thanks! I saw that, I was pleasantly surprised.
Thanks for stopping by and for the “like”. Your recipes are great! You might like my Sweet Potato Pudding. It’s an old recipe that’s not well known. (It’s yummy but not healthy.)
No problem! Thanks! I’ll check out it, sounds lovely.
Hi..I like your blog. It’s nice 🙂
Will follow and try some of your recipes.
Thank you for visit mine and like one of my post.
Oh what a good topic to write about. I am looking forward to reading all your recipes
Thanks! Enjoy!

Thanks – I get so many of these that I never actually do them myself – I haven’t the time 😀
I’ve heard the same from others. No worries.
Delicious photography!

Thank you so much for liking my blog and making yourself known to me! My husband and I live on my disability benefits and any tips on frugality are welcome! We grow what we can, I can make six months’ worth of various pickles for under £10 but I’m always on the lookout for more ideas 🙂
No problem – glad I could help!
Thanks for visiting our site and liking us! 🙂 We look for cost effective yumminess so we’re glad we visited your site. Hope you’ll decide to follow us and we’ll follow you!

Thanks so much! I’m flattered!
Keep up the great work — and I look forward to more in 2013! Cheers!
Thanks, Danny! You too!
What could be more important than food? But I hear what you’re saying. It’s folly to over-spend in any area of life. I could use more help with frugality 🙂
Hi there. I just nominated you for a very Inspiring Blogger Award. Congratulations!
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the follow; I’m looking forward to reading more of your blog! Seems we have a similar perspective… except that I am far from beyond paying a pretty penny for exceptional oysters and really good cheese, every once in a while. Can’t wait for the coming conversation!
Great! I’d pay a pretty penny for some great cheese too – not so much the oysters!
Congratulations! I’ve nominated your blog for Blog of the Year Award 2012. I hope you will receive your star and participate in this exciting blog award.

Cool! This is one of the most relevant blogs in this age of incredible inflation. My art, craft and home deco philosophy is aesthetics on a shoe string. Don’t believe we can’t have style without spending heaps of money. Looking forward to more useful tips from you 🙂
Do drop by every now and then too!
Cheers to a thrifty, yummy and stylish 2013,

You’re posts have given me so many ideas. I love the recipes and the pictures that you include and take yourself. Because you have inspired me to try new foods and also save money while doing it I have nominated you for a Very Inspiring Blogger Award. It makes sense to do so =)
http://xxxcxixxx.wordpress.com/2013/01/09/inspirational-blogger-my-nominations/
I’ve nominated you for the Inspiring Blog Award:
All your recipes are so delicious! You’re also so good at foodie photos, show me how!
Love it, keep blogging x
I love your blog so much that I had to nominate you for the “Sisterhood of the World Bloggers” Award. I couldn’t not! Your blog is just so wonderful!! I know that “Sisterhood” doesn’t apply, but I adore your blog and wanted to include it in my list of favourites, I hope you understand!!

You have an Amazing Inspiring Blog and I have nominated you for the “Very Inspiring Blogger Award!” If you’d like to participate, here are the rules: http://homecreationseveryday.wordpress.com/2013/02/07/very-inspiring-blog-award/
OMG — you’re a fellow! I’ve been following the blog and really enjoying the recipes — and text — but had a picture of you in my mind as a middle-aged housewife. No idea why — but don’t give up, it’s a very entertaining/instructive blog.
Haha – thanks! I am indeed a chap – definitely not a middle aged housewife. I shan’t give it up!
what a wonderful blog!
Thanks for liking my blog post. I absolutely love your pictures. Are you a photographer? and are you able to part with some tips on how to produce good pictures? I am useless with a camera and need help urgently lol.
I’m afraid I’m not a professional photographer – Read a few books, surf the internet. get a half decent camera 😀
Thanks for visiting my blog and liking my post! I look forward to your perspective! (I spend wayyyy to much on food, but really do love it!) 🙂
I’m loving your blog…can’t wait to start trying the recipes…they really look divine!
Thanks so much – let me know what you make!
Will do 🙂
