About Us

Welcome to Yummy Bites – a cozy little corner where everyday food becomes something quietly beautiful.
I’m Claire Bennett, a home cook and mum of two, living in a sleepy village near the Cotswolds with my husband and our golden retriever, Maple. I’ve always loved the calm that comes with cooking — the soft hum of the kettle, the smell of something warm in the oven, and the way food gently brings people together.

A Little Story Behind It All

I didn’t grow up with fancy meals or complicated recipes. But I do remember the sound of my mum’s wooden spoon clinking against the mixing bowl and how the kitchen always smelled like something comforting — stews, scones, roast dinners. That quiet magic stayed with me.

One evening, not long after leaving my job as a preschool teacher, I found myself baking banana bread just to clear my mind. The children were asleep, the house was quiet, and I realised something: cooking gave me space to breathe.

That small moment of peace became a daily rhythm — and over time, I started writing down my recipes. Nothing flashy. Just the kind of food I made for my family with what we had in the pantry and garden. And so, Yummy Bites was born.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog is for anyone who finds joy in slow, simple cooking — even if life is messy and the kitchen sink is never quite empty.

At this blog, I share:

  • Comforting family meals made with love
  • Gentle recipes that are beginner-friendly and stress-free
  • Baking moments with little hands helping (and sneaking tastes)
  • Stories that make each dish feel like home
  • Seasonal cooking tips to help you use what’s fresh and local

My hope is that this space feels like a warm cup of tea with a friend — familiar, calm, and full of honest flavor.

If you love the smell of herbs in the garden, quiet afternoons spent baking, and food that brings people closer… you’re very welcome here.

Let’s cook something lovely together.
