I'm Sara, known (amongst other things) as RaRa to my fabulous nephews, Harry and Matthew.

They're heading into adulthood and needed a few decent recipes to get them started.

So this, is what this site is about. Simple but good food that anyone can cook.

The blog is designed for them, but if you happen upon us, welcome, we're glad you're here.
