About me




Hay, my name is Frensis and I decided to complement my busy life by starting a blog. Not quite sure why....maybe to boast about my cooking skills,  maybe to just give myself a creative outlet, but perhaps and most likely it is a good strategy for eternal procrastination.  I was born and raised to the Netherlands  ( clogs, windmills, tulips.. that place ) but moved to the U.K. about two years ago and now live in busy industrial Manchester. I like to escape for walks and weekends away to the countryside, although I must admit I secretly enjoy the hustle and bustle, and the local curry mile is one of my favorite places to go out for food, and serves as a great inspiration for many of my meals.

I am currently working towards a PhD in social statistics, but when I need to escape the stress and the hassle and the complication I like to bake cakes, create interesting soups or just have leisurely pancake breakfasts. I read loads of cooking-blogs, spend a lot of time on Pinterest and browse through many cookbooks, all to get inspiration for new things to do and cook.  Although I want things to taste nice, I prefer it if my food is healthy and free from processed foods ( yes, I am a hippy).  I am a vegetarian, and have been for many years and prefer to work without animal products, but cheese is my weakness. So I hope that on my blog you will find many ways to substitute your meat, fish, eggs and dairy for good plant-based substitutes ... with a bit of cheeky cheese here and there.
