​

I’m Ashleigh, I am a current student at UniSA studying Journalism.

​

I have grown up in a house that is always filled with new tastes and smells and have always loved the feeling of working over a stove and baking chocolatey treats for my family.

​

For me I couldn’t wait till I was allowed to hold a spatula and help my dad prepare dinner and my mum with baking after school cookies for my brother and I to snack, it has helped me grow and develop valuable life skills.

​

So that is what this blog, the Messy Chef is for.

​

Sharing scrumptious desserts and treats to cater that sweet tooth. Simple, homecooked family recipes that hold dear memories and stories that you can share, adapt and enjoy with your own families. Give you some cheap, finger foods and snacks that won’t break the budget for some of those full-time workers and/or studiers. And finally, cook-with-me video tutorials where you can all cook alongside me as I walk you through some of my favourite meals to cook and bake.

​

Everyone can cook if you put your mind to it! With a little bit of patience and of course a little mess you too will be the talk of the dinner table!

​

As always, a little bit of mess never hurt no one,

 

Stay messy!
