Welcome to
Cook Make Bake

Welcome and a big hello from me!

I'm Helen, a passionate home cook living in lovely Lancashire with my husband Fraser, Tessy the Lakeland Terrier and about 25 English white park cattle.

I'm so glad you're joining me to Cook some sumptuous dinners,

Bake mouth watering breads and cakes,

and Make everything from pretty pink lemonade to creamy hummus!

This is a real opportunity for me to share my successes in the kitchen, culinary tips, cheats and show you how to make extraordinary food look and feel effortless to prepare.

I enjoy taking the mystery out of seemingly impossible recipes, and giving you the confidence to try some new and old recipes. Soon you'll be cooking up a batch of crisp danish pastries, making a silky hollandaise and cooking the perfect steak!

One of my real joys is having a house crammed full of friends and family, sitting around the kitchen table with delicious food and the sound of laughter.

I love having the opportunity to let you into my pandoras box of foodie passions, and hope you enjoy trying some of my failsafe recipes.
