Hi! I’m Ness, author, recipe tester, and Mad Maven of Mess here at Messie Nessie’s Recipes (formerly The Groovy Foody). I’m a professional food writer, lifestyle journalist, artist, poet, and author and I LOVE to cook for my peeps. Nothing here is about perfection. It’s all about exploring the world of food on your terms. Read the blog posts (*—or don’t and skip right to the recipes). Cook some of the recipes (*or just drool over the idea of them). It’s up to you. Whatever floats your boat.

In addition to the wide variety of recipes, there will be food books, and food movies, and food adventures for kids (and the kid-at-heart). Some of it is live now on the site and some will be rolled out along the way. I hope you enjoy every licky, sticky wordy spoonful.

“Now, stuff that in yer gob!”
