About Me
Welcome to Baking with Butter! I’m Elien Lewis , the person behind this blog. I am a self-taught baker, author, and food photographer. You will find me spending most of my days either recipe testing in the kitchen, photographing food in my living room, or out in the garden.
Where it started
I’ve been blogging for over 10 years now, but making food from scratch has been a passion forever! I’m originally from Belgium, so a love of chocolate, Belgian waffles, pannenkoeken and bread is pretty much in my blood.
I started food blogging when I first became a mum to my two boys. It was as a way to write down my favorite recipes but also as something to do in between nap times. Since starting blogging, I have been able to work on my photography, too. I love working on my passion every day! It’s so much fun creating recipes with step-by-step instructions, to empower you to bake from scratch at home. I actually have a few blogs, because I don’t really do things by halves! You’ll also find me over on Homegrown Happiness where I share mainly sourdough recipes, or on Mint and Twist, where I share drink recipes.
My books
In 2021, I released my first book, ‘Homegrown Happiness‘. It’s a mix of gardening advice with delicious recipes and cooking tips. Alongside these, I’ve published eBooks on sourdough baking, for anyone keen on mastering the art of sourdough. Check out my Sourdough Ebooks.
