The Spelt Kitchen (About Me Page)

Welcome to my precious little corner of the internet. I’m so glad you found your way here – grab a cup of something delicious and stay awhile.

I’m Tracy, mum to two towering teenagers, originally from the north of England but now calling the south of Sweden home. By day, I’m a teacher; by night, I’m a baker (and an enthusiastic taste-tester). Photography is another passion of mine, so expect plenty of mouthwatering shots alongside the recipes.

My blogging journey started over a decade ago with The Culinary Jumble, and let’s just say, my recipes have evolved a lot since then. I’ve dabbled in gluten-free baking, waved goodbye to meat, and seven years ago, I fell head over heels for spelt flour.

Why spelt? Well, for me, it’s easier on my stomach, and I was desperate for an alternative to all-purpose (plain) flour, but gluten-free options always fell short. What I didn’t expect was how amazing spelt would be. It works beautifully in everything from crusty bread to soft, fluffy cakes. Don’t just take my word for it – check out my spelt vs. plain flour: which makes the best cupcake? for some surprising results.

But don’t worry, this blog isn’t all about spelt. I believe baking should be fun, flexible, and a little bit experimental. Plus, a girl can’t live on cake alone! You’ll also find plenty of quick and easy dinner recipes. Expect an eclectic mix of indulgent and wholesome dishes, with something for every occasion. And if you don’t bake with spelt, no problem – all my recipes can be made with all-purpose (plain) flour, so you’ll never miss out.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find something here that inspires you!

Sponsored posts

I spent a couple of years working as a freelance writer, so if you think my blog would be a good fit for your product through a sponsored post, let me do the hard work and write something for you. Check out my review of The Spice Pioneer, which will give you an idea of the kind of thing I am able to produce.

I would consider accepting a guest post for The Spelt Kitchen written by someone else. However, I would need full control of the content and I would not add do-follow links on a post that I have received payment for.

Guests posts

Additionally, I would love to write a guest post for your blog. I will create a recipe, take pictures and write a post. For one of my recent guest posts, I created this dreamy polenta and clementine cake.

Or maybe you’d like to send me something baking oriented to review (please, please!). I am open to all possibilities (as long as cooking/baking is involved), so please get in touch.
