CraftyHanded Cuisine

Cooking and baking used to be my big passion… in my past life when I used to have a nice big kitchen. I used to have a wall-to-wall bookcase lined up with cookbooks from all over the world, trying a new recipe every other day.

When I was on the move, I lost my interest in it, but now I am slowly getting it back. Unfortunately, my new old kitchen is yet far from presentable. But I am learning the magic of moviemaking and impression-making. And I am slowly working on reviving my CraftyHanded Cuisine.

I am starting to put my time-proven recipes on the CraftyHanded Patreon page. And I will be slowly adding video recipes of my favorite sweet and savory dishes. If you are my Lovely Patreon, you can vote which ones you want to see first.
