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.

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

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 Kolla

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!

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
