Hi I'm Vanya,
Thanks for visiting my website! I hope you find some inspiring recipes and ideas for family-friendly meals.
I live in beautiful Taupo, New Zealand with my husband, two sons and Golden Retriever. I love cooking, baking, sharing recipes and of course, eating.
Baking Recipes
From biscuits to brownies, cakes to muffins and so much more. My baking recipes cover everyone's family favourites including the classics from Nana's kitchen. For your next birthday, anniversary or celebration, be sure to try my easy and delicious baking treats.
Salad Recipes
My favourite dish to take to a shared meal is a platter salad. Full of big flavours, punchy dressings, fresh vegetables, protein and carbs, these are not your every-day green salads.
