ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm the founder of BakeSpace.com. What makes the BakeSpace community unique is that recipes are just the beginning of the conversation -- unlike most traditional recipe sites where the journey begins and ends with a recipe retrieval. Our slogan from day-one was "Come for the food, and stay for the conversation." I'd love to hear from you so if you have questions, let me know!

Amazing how this site it going since I first joined in the beginning. Ive been expanding my cooking, but not my baking as such into recently. Ive even experimented with ice creams, custards, etc. Soon Ill be making a lemon kiwi cheesecake, a quince tart, congac truffles, and a chili souffle. Ill also be dabbling in cookies such as the chessboard cookie and a brownie crackle-topped cookie. |

I don't think I ever responded to you but regardless, I want to compliment you on a great site. I'll admit I've not been on a whole lot but finally got around to posting my first recipe. Let's see where I go from here. Say hello to Erik for me and I wish you much continued success. FYI - the site looks good on the iPad, too! :) |

Babette dear - are you nice or what. Within hours of my query (whole baked fish?), you responded with suggestions. Because I'm sometimes computer-challenged, I ended up doing what this site inspires: ("Necessity is the mother of invention") and winged it by putting a cranberry/balsamic pork glaze onto 3 bass. A star was born, no kidding. I'm going to post it and force others fishward! Thanks for encouraging the creative in us all - Elisabetta |

Hello Babette,
thank you again for me being the featured member again :) I'm honored. I just love Bakespace and I try to make my site nice too. I love that recipies that I try and add here on Bakespace I will not loose, they are here, both for you to try out and for me to find again :) I have soooo many recipies that I have collected through the years and some that I had tried once and loved, I lost and went into great lengths to find again. But that is not a problem here on Bakespace! Thank you again so much for this site. You are doing a great work here. And I have met such nice people here as well, as a great bonus to all this.
Many thanks again and warm greetings to you from Spring Time Wiesbaden, Germany

hi babbette, thanks for all your help in signing up..i just kept messing up somehow. this looks like a nice place to be!! p.s., i absolutely love macaroni and cheese, too..there's a soul food restaurant nearby that makes the most scrumptous i have ever had, and that includes my mom's (blasphemy, but there you have it) mine doesn't come out good enough to serve to company, but i sometimes make it for myself..my favorite are the "hardies" the crunchy overbrowned stuff that sticks to the pan on the sides and bottom.. |

Babette, I'm a member of Group Recipes as well, and after having just scrutinized the terms of both their website and Bakespace, I want to congratulate you on creating a website with terms that doesn't make its users worry about IP and allows them to contribute freely. After reading the terms of the Group Recipes site, I will no longer be participating on their site as I find their terms to be highly unreasonable.
So, this is just a long-winded message to say thanks for providing this website, and keep up the great work! |

Haikus for Babette
I see your effort
blossom, extending your reach
making hearts joyful
and when others cook
pans hot, fires throwing shadows
your spirit enters
lips smacking, hands full
forks at ready, steam rising
peaceful, happy heart
your work satisfies
many, touches other people
sharing spread widely
many being touched
gaining confidence and hope
with each dish complete
gleaming faces, laughter
the uncorked bottle empty
dinner worth eating.
Thank you for having the courage and vision to let food be a conduit of gentleness. Our lives are better because of it. My humble and genuine gratitude. lucas hess |
