My love for baking began in my grandmother’s kitchen, where I spent hours as a child, hands dusted with flour, learning the art of perfect pastries and cakes. My grandmother’s recipes weren’t just instructions; they were stories, passed down with care and tradition. Each roll of dough, each sprinkle of sugar, came with lessons in patience, love, and flavor. I cherished those moments, perfecting my skills and recreating the comforting, delicious treats that my family and friends have come to adore.
For over a decade, I have delighted loved ones with my unique creations—from savoury patties and pies to indulgent cakes and biscuit puddings. Every item I bake is a nod to her grandmother’s timeless recipes, carrying a legacy of taste that’s familiar and heartfelt. Now, I’m excited to share my passion with everyone, bringing those family-loved recipes from my kitchen to yours, made with the same love and dedication that started it all. Welcome to Melis’s Kitchen, where tradition and flavor meet.
