Recipes Done Differently

There is nothing more frustrating than making a recipe that doesn’t turn out.

That’s why all of my recipes include cleanup ratings, baking science, and easy-to-follow directions. You’ll know exactly what to expect during every step, from the weight of each ingredient at the start to the number of dirty dishes you’ll have to wash up at the end.

I write all of my recipes with beginners in mind—even the more complicated ones!—because baking doesn’t need to be difficult.

I love baking and cooking, but I’m not too wild about the stack of dishes afterwards. That’s why all of my thoughtfully written, easy-to-follow recipes have cleanup ratings! You’ll know exactly what you’re getting into before you even start on a recipe.

    Honey Lavender Syrup

    My favorite way to add a touch of lavender to drinks, honey lavender syrup is easy to make and even easier to use! It’s made from honey, dried lavender, and a little water so that it dissolves in cold and hot liquids quickly for flavor in every sip.
