A Kitchen Notebook

This space is inspired by the small, cloth bound antique French ledger sat on the kitchen mantlepiece in our tiny terraced West Yorkshire home:

Our kitchen notebook where I jot down recipes from our stove and shelves, where I make notes of meals eaten, conversations shared and rituals created.

Who is this for?

  • If you enjoy some degree of humour and frank honesty alongside your whimsy.

  • If you like to reflect the seasons in your daily life without feeling like a 2015 Pinterest board.

  • If you like simple recipes with store cupboard ingredients that are more of a creative suggestion than a forensic diagram.

  • If you like vintage desks full of old ink jars and incomplete drawings.

  • If you like hearing voicenotes and recordings from blustery walks across the Yorshire fields and around kitchen tables.

  • If you like high brow and low brow and everything in between recommendations on books, films, music and podcasts. There is no cultural or intellectual snobbery here.

  • If you like stories of the every day, of love, of heartbreak, of nostalgia, of hope. Then I think you may enjoy my images and words.

I write, I draw, I take photos, I record voices and I move objects around, all with the purpose of telling a story and hoping that these will inspire others to find their own.
