About

Hi I’m Magda, and I like to scavenge the internet for easy and tasty recipes, but I hate having to scroll through pages upon pages of text before I see what I am looking for. I’ve flipped things here, and the recipes I post are my own versions of ones I found.

I also design and develop websites, including this one. Head over to https://magda.codes if you’re interested in rebranding your online presence.
