Hi! I'm Mabel! Welcome to mabesmakes. I'm 25 and live by the lovely Victoria Park. I cook mostly veggie recipes and also have a real sweet tooth. Living in East London, I'm always inspired by wonderful cafes, markets and restaurants. I love cooking and baking for my friends and family, and photographing my foodie arrangements. Join me over the next few week as I make simple, seasonal recipes which help ensure that staying at home is a joy!

These leek and feta fritters are so easy to make. You can add extras like onion, garlic and wholegrain mustard if you want to bulk them up and spruce them up. I usually serve them with fresh spinach and a dollop of yoghurt for a light lunch.

Knob of butter
