Bronagh Duffin is the owner of Bakehouse – Below is her story:
For as long as I can remember my life has always been about food. My first cookery book was Delia Smiths Complete Cookery Course and as I child I read it cover to cover before I went to sleep dreaming of how I would love to cook these amazing dishes. I believe such strong memories are associated with food that it is so important. It has the power to nourish the body and mind and transport us to a place of contentment and happiness.
One of my favourite memories is of me as a child eating my Grannies freshly baked scones, dripping in butter and feeling happy and safe at that time. For me food heals and comforts in so many ways whether it’s through selecting ingredients, cooking it for those you love or eating it and for that reason I never want to stop learning about new ingredients, recipes and ways to teach people to love it as much as I do.
My desire is to cook delicious, simple and home-made food. This website is how I reflect my love for food and whether it be recipes, classes, parties or stunning celebration cakes I want to help others to enjoy cooking and eating delicious food. I hope you enjoy it and that you find something which interests you.

My name is Franchine, I am the creator of BelleBee by Franchine – an organic face balm that cleanses, moisturises, nourishes, exfoliates and treats the skin, all from one small pot!
My journey into developing organic products was initially an entirely egoistic project – my skin reacted badly to menopausal changes and failed to improve with shop bought products. After extensive research into the benefits of plant based oils I carefully selected a range of oils and butters known for treating the skin without blocking pores.
BelleBee is an honest skincare product; a unique blend of ingredients that are pure, organic and have been used traditionally around the world for centuries for their ability to heal and nourish.
I had a strong believe in the power of nature – we can have great looking skin no matter what age we are, as long as we choose the right products and adopt a good daily skin care routine. BelleBee has dramatically simplified my routine as it cleanses (even waterproof mascara), moisturises, treats, soothes and protects. An excellent multi-purpose balm that can also be used on dry skin on the feet, elbows, hands etc
