About me Meet Mandy Hello and welcome! I’m Mandy Evans, the heart and hands behind MandyCooking.com—your home for delicious, approachable recipes inspired by comfort, tradition, and a love for real food. My Roots in the Kitchen I grew up in the peaceful countryside of Somerset, England, where food was always at the center of family life. From baking scones with my gran to preparing Sunday roasts with my mum, the kitchen was where memories were made and stories were told. Those early experiences sparked my lifelong passion for cooking. Why “MandyCooking”? This blog is named in loving memory of my aunt Mandy, who taught me that food is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to show love. She never let anyone leave her home without something homemade—and I carry that spirit with me in everything I cook. What You’ll Find Here At MandyCooking.com, I share: Easy, reliable recipes for every day of the week Comfort food classics with a modern twist Quick meals, slow roasts, soups, desserts, and more Simple techniques and tips to help build confidence in the kitchen Whether you’re a beginner or a home-cooking enthusiast, you’ll find something to suit your style, taste, and schedule. My Cooking Philosophy I believe food should be: Simple to make Full of flavour Made with loveI focus on using fresh, seasonal ingredients and sharing recipes that you can rely on again and again. For me, the joy of cooking lies in sharing it—with family, friends, and now with you. A Bit About Me When I’m not in the kitchen, I’m usually: Sipping a cup of Earl Grey Scribbling recipe ideas in a notebook Browsing local farmers’ markets Cooking for the people I loveI also enjoy a good walk in the countryside, classic cookbooks, and always make time for homemade cake.
