Hi, I'm Kat! Welcome to my little corner of the internet where I share my baking recipes with you. Like many people, I was inspired by The Great British Bake Off to get into baking. I started this blog as a way to record my progress and show my friends and family what I'd made, but it's grown into so much more! As well as running my blog, I'm a mum of one. I live in Manchester with my husband and my son, and my other hobbies include crafting, film & TV, cooking, travelling and spending time with friends.
All the recipes on this blog are home made in my kitchen. I aim to bring you achievable bakes that you can see yourself producing in your kitchen too. I like things to look good, but also look fun and home made. I'm learning every step of the way and want you to join in! In 2015 I started learning a lot about the meat and dairy industry so I don't eat meat anymore. My blog is 100% vegetarian. You'll also find lots of vegan friendly recipes from me too. If you like vegetarian and vegan cooking, then please check out my other blog Kat's Veg Kitchen!
Disclaimer
This blog is written entirely by Kat Buckley (aka The Baking Explorer) and was started in August 2012. I recommend products on this blog because in my own opinion I am satisfied with the product and want to tell people about it. Even if I've been sent the product for free, it is always my honest opinion and I am not obliged to write a positive review. Everything I write is my own opinion and experience. I am happy to do sponsored posts. Get in touch using the contact form below if you would like to discuss a collaboration, or check out my Work With Me page.
In order to earn some money from my blog to buy ingredients, and pay for things like my domain name and photography equipment, you will see Amazon links on my blog. I earn a small amount of money if you buy the products after clicking on the links. You will not be charged anything extra for this! I will keep the products relevant to my posts and only link to products that I use and have bought myself, or are very similar to products I use and have bought. You are supporting my blog with any purchase that you make, so thank you! Whilst I make every effort to ensure my recipes are clear and accurate, I cannot be held responsible for what happens in your kitchen and home environment, including and not limited to accidents requiring medical attention and allergic reactions.
