ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm the founder of BakeSpace.com. Being an avid baker, it was only natural that I would create some kind of food site. My plan for BakeSpace was to create a hybrid online community where recipes would be just the beginning, not the end of your online food journey like most traditional recipe sites. Our slogan from day-one was "Come for the food, and stay for the conversation."

I love cake decorating and cupcakes. I have a strange fascination with mac & cheese and can hardly resist the temptation to order it at every restaurant I go to. I love collecting vintage recipe cards and old "kitchen of the future" advertising from vintage magazines.

Since launching the site, BakeSpace has grown into solid food community with our recipes being as interesting and diverse as our members.

If you have any questions, need some help or want to share some feedback about the site, please don't hesitate to contact me at members[at]bakespace.com.

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

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.

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!
