Hey there, I’m an amateur baker/cook with a slightly unhealthy obsession with baking and all things chocolate. I’m currently a Canadian junior doctor working in the UK. I started this blog way back at the start of medical school (hence the Baking Medic) and sometimes I’m still surprised that it’s been so many years!

I’m also a beginner painter/sketcher. One of my favourite mediums is watercolour paint, but I also love charcoal/pastel on coloured paper, coloured pencil, and gouache. This blog is a place to share some of my experiments in the studio (aka my living room table) as well as the kitchen.

I love to try new recipes, to share what I’ve learned, and to share what I’ve baked. I started this blog after being inspired by so many of the other foodblogs out there. Why should they have all the fun? So, I aim here to post regularly about life, the universe, and everything — but mostly about food. Feel free to drop a message or leave comments/suggestions. I love feedback and meeting all sorts of interesting folk!
