About Us
I’ve always loved cooking but mostly baking. I didn’t jump at the opportunity to cook when growing up, but I did enjoy learning from my mom. My husband on the other hand only discovered his enjoyment for cooking when he moved out of the house, to a town that didn’t offer food deliveries because he stayed out further on the plots and so his passion for cooking was created and his hidden talent brought forward. He completely surprised his family and they joke about Andrew going from microwaved hot dogs to making his own homemade pasta. He now does most of the cooking and loves to try out new recipes.
We plan our weekends around food and new recipes. We love trying out new dishes when we’re out and about eating at restaurants we discuss how we can make this at home or make it better. We are such food snobs that way. We’re not professionals and didn’t study for this (yet) but our passion is belly deep and this is something we both enjoy. It’s something we bond over that breaks away from work stuff and just the business of life. Sometimes we’re wrapping up one meal and already discussing another.
We had this brilliant idea to digitise our recipes so it would be easier to find them, rather than searching through folders and folders of papers and books. We wanted something we could access quickly and that’s how Blessed Belly was created.

good food
Food has so many weird and tasteful attributes to it. From a simple eggs on toast to a delicious home made herb infused pesto pasta salad. What’s fascinating is that when creating dishes, you don’t need expensive ingredients and gadgets. When in your own kitchen you can create almost anything, changing up recipes, adding or removing ingredients. Your meal is your own and your ingredients should be your inspiration and better yet it can still be an easy task.
