Meet Laura
Hi, I’m Laura D. Hanso, Thanks for being here!
I am a born and raised New Zealander (a Kiwi), now living in the United States. I’m happily married to the love of my life, a mama to 2 awesome little boys and love red things, rugby, cheesecake, and bacon.
Mmmmm. Bacon.
My Mum involved me in the kitchen from a very early age – she was patient, kind, and generous with her time. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve being in the kitchen with her, or my grandmother. The bonus of that is – she always let me lick the beaters!
I love to cook for my family, friends and neighbors and think everything tastes better from scratch (but I’m so not opposed to taking shortcuts!)
About Laura
I discovered that not everyone is as comfortable in the kitchen as I am! I absolutely seek to change that – I believe that cooking is for everyone, and doesn’t have to be intimidating or use obscure ingredients. How many times have you seen a recipe and thought “omg, that’s way too hard” or “what is that ingredient?”. Yep, me too!!
The beginner and average cook can easily make the dishes on “the recipe spoon” using ingredients available from most local grocery stores.
A long time foodie and cook, I bring approachable, affordable, tried-and-true recipes to the table!
I know you’ll find something to love here!
