Hi there, my name is Jen. Welcome to My Tiny Oven!
I am a lover of cooking and eating all kinds of food. I grew
up in a home where both my parents cooked all the time. Both my Mom and Dad
were fantastic cooks and we grew up eating a wide variety of home cooked meals.
They were my inspiration for this blog and I have shared many of our Clarke
family recipes here on the blog.
I only really started cooking and baking when I was in my
early 30’s. Before that I lived off fish sticks and french fries. Once I
finally figured out my way around the kitchen I couldn’t get enough. I watched
a lot of Food Network and read a lot of Martha Stewart and now here I am,
cooking and baking up a storm.
When I was 25 years old I moved from my hometown in
Saskatchewan to Vancouver. I lived in a little apartment downtown for nearly 13
years. It was there I fell in love with all things culinary. My oven in that
apartment was teeny tiny, hence the name of my blog! I couldn’t even fit a
regular sized cookie sheet in that tiny oven, but I did end up making a ton of
delicious food in that thing.
I just recently moved to Victoria with my in house taste
tester. It is a lovely city and I have a much bigger oven now! I can’t wait to
make a ton of new food memories in my new kitchen and then share them with you.
I like to cook simple quick food that tastes great. I hope
you can find some inspiration here!
If you have any questions feel free to drop me an email jbclarke6@telus.net
Enjoy!

Hi Jen, I stumbled upon your site while searching for a mushroom roll-up recipe, and the recipe you posted is the exact one I was looking for. I live in Sedley, half an hour east of Regina and let me tell you, there's no snow here, just a light dusting and today it's gonna be +2. So much for -40.

ReplyDeleteHi Jen--you are a young me! I was looking for a good recipe for Johnny Cake to make with my grand daughters this afternoon and voila--there you were. We had this treat often as I grew up but it was more a meatless supper staple when the farm supplies were running low. I LOVE your blog, so here's my deal--I will keep reading yours if you check out mine--we seem to have many similar interests and I have only known you for 15 mins. Again, beautiful interesting blog!
