RECIPES
Welcome to my blog! My name is Basia, I live in Switzerland, and I'm a wife, a mom to two sweet little girls, and a hopeless addict of good food. I love to cook and bake, and sometimes I even experiment a little, so I decided to share this little hobby of mine with family and friends. Anyone who stops by is more than welcome, of course.
My goal was to create a place for tried-and-true recipes, the kind that always turn out and always taste good. When I have the time, I'll also share some interesting books, products, articles and the like, though that's not my priority.
I'll also try to add a photo to every recipe. I should say right away that I don't consider myself a super cook, and my photos are often nothing special. I cook and take pictures the best I can. I'm not a great writer either, and I don't always manage to put my feelings into words the way I'd like to. So my recipe intros and other articles may be a bit sparse in both form and content.
If you find that something I made is delicious, or bland and in need of improvement, please let me know, even if it's just a short comment. Writing and cooking are always more fun when I know someone is reading and wants to try my recipes.
If you've made something you liked and want to share a photo, send it to me through the contact form at /contact/ and I'll be happy to share it.
The Purpose of This Site and My Recipe Sources
I started this blog mainly to build a private archive of recipes and interesting tidbits. Most of them are family recipes and recipes from friends, but you'll also find some from other sources such as books, websites, magazines and so on. I try to credit those sources properly whenever I can. Unfortunately, that's sometimes hard with newspaper clippings or recipes I simply copied from somewhere, but it's difficult not to share a wonderful recipe.
If you have a request, or you're craving something in particular and don't know how to make it or don't have a reliable recipe, write to me and I'll try to find one for you. If you have a recipe that's worth trying and you'd like to see it on this site, send it to me and I'll try it out and "pass it on." I say "try" because my time, budget and even my skills are limited, so I may not be able to test every recipe.
Leaving Comments
Comments are welcome under most posts and recipes. Since this is a family blog, please don't write anything you wouldn't say if you were visiting me at home. Constructive criticism is very welcome, because your tips can help improve a recipe or the site. Rude or offensive comments and swearing are not welcome and will be deleted.
Last but not least, I'm so glad you stopped by. I hope you'll feel at home here and find something tasty for yourself. Come on in, and enjoy your meal!
