Hey there, I’m Lucy!
So… you found my little food corner on the internet! I’m Lucy Anderson and honestly? I started this whole thing because I was SO tired of recipes that don’t actually work. Like, why do they always assume I have saffron just sitting around?? Okay so funny story… I used to be TERRIBLE at cooking. And I mean terrible. I’d spend my whole paycheck at the grocery store buying weird ingredients for one recipe. Then I’d mess it up anyway and end up eating cereal for dinner. Again.
You know that feeling when you follow a recipe exactly and it still turns out gross? Yeah. That was my life. But then I had this lightbulb moment – what if recipes could just… work? With normal ingredients? Without needing a culinary degree? Mind blown, right? 🤯
What You Get Here
Here’s the deal with my recipes:
- I test them in my actual kitchen (not some fancy studio)
- I use ingredients from regular grocery stores
- If my picky family won’t eat it, I don’t post it
- No 47-step processes because who has time for that??
- Real photos taken with my phone (sorry not sorry)
My Cooking Rules
Cooking should make your life easier, not harder. Period.
That’s why everything here uses stuff you probably already have. Or can get without taking out a second mortgage.
And listen… if you’ve ever burned toast or can’t boil water without panicking, we’re gonna be best friends. No judgment zone here! I’ve been there.
Actually… I’m still there sometimes 😅
The Random Stuff
When I’m not in the kitchen making a mess (let’s be real, I always make a mess), I’m probably:
- Staring into my fridge hoping dinner ideas will magically appear
- Taking 47 photos of the same dish because the lighting is weird
- Asking my family “is this good or are you just being nice?”
- Planning what to cook next while eating what I just made
My family are my taste testers and they do NOT hold back. If something’s bad, they’ll tell me. Keeps me humble!
Let’s Be Kitchen Friends
Look, my whole goal here is to help you actually ENJOY cooking instead of dreading it.
Whether you’re starting from zero or you just want recipes that won’t let you down… you’re in the right place.
Try something! Tell me how it goes! Send me photos of your kitchen disasters – I love those almost as much as the success stories.
We’re all just figuring this out together, right?
Now go cook something delicious!
Lucy ❤️
