About Rich

I had to learn to cook. So I did.

I spent years and years living on takeaways. I didn't have a clue how to cook — and honestly, I didn't think I needed to. Then the slow cooker came along, and it changed my life.

Losing my parents at a young age shaped who I am today. It's part of my story, but it's not the whole story.

I miss my mammy's Welsh dishes.

So I'm learning, one slow-cooked meal at a time. If I can do it — with no experience and a lot of takeaways behind me — you can too.

I've discovered a new me. Simple dishes, minutes to prep, and I love it as a hobby. If you've ever thought you can't cook — start here.
