Hi there!
If this is your first time visiting Saffron & Sunday, consider this your proper introduction. Pull up a chair, make yourself a cup of something warm, and let me tell you how all of this came to be. If you are a regular, come on in because there’s loads of things to get you caught up on!
From BusyFoodBee to Saffron & Sunday
If you have been a regular visitor and noticed the change, yes, a lot changed and a lot of changes are coming. Formerly, this space was used to be primarily recipes for foodies who are in their beginning to cook era and want approachable, diverse, creative or beginner friendly recipes. As much as I loved doing that, there has been a knocking urge for this space to not just hold recipes, but, life content too. I realised I didn’t just want a food blog as I wanted to bring more aspects of myself in. I also wanted to have a little space where you could sort of read, “lounge” around and just pick a recipe that you might be interested in making next week, or something to read about life, about the cozy café I visited, or about what I have been doing or where I have been lately.
So that is how Saffron & Sunday was born!
Why saffron and why Sunday, you might ask? Well, the name came from two things that I love: saffron spice (although it can cost an arm and a leg sometimes), beautiful, robust red and delicate flavours, and Sunday, where everything can be slow and nothing needs to be rushed.
Which brings the next question…
What Will Be the Content in This Space?
Well, in this space I will now share:
Recipes
Creative, diverse recipes for you to pick from and try.
Tealisations & Coffeezations
So it’s a play on the words realisation and conversations. These are my reflections on life, little realisations that come to me, lessons that I’ve learnt, or even curiosities about certain things. Think of them as gentle conversations about living more mindfully and intentionally.
Rituals
The morning coffee/tea that centres your day, the beauty of slowing down, the everyday habits that quietly shape who we are.
Other Things
Bringing you along on my travels and outings, to cozy cafés and so on.
And honestly? Sometimes it’s just a place to browse. Read a recipe. Watch a video on my Youtube channel. Sit with a thought for a moment. It’s just that corner of the internet that feels calmer that you can unwind to and relax with.
Every piece of content that I make is something that has a lot of care put into it. Every recipe is tried and tested and something that I enjoy making for me and my family, and if I feel off about it or it’s something that I do not repeat, then those recipes don’t get posted here. Every post is something that I spent lot of time thinking about. And if even one of you can benefit something here by like having a favorite recipe on here, reads something here and it made you feel seen, or you walk away with a slightly different perspective, then this whole thing is worth it.
This is just the beginning. There is a lot more to come such as recipes I can’t wait to share, places I want to take you, and thoughts I’m still finding the right words for. Saffron & Sunday is a growing space, and I’m building it one post at a time.
If you love food and are searching for creative, diverse recipes, you’ll find them here. If you enjoy quiet reflections on life, there’s a seat for you. If you just want to tag along on little adventures to cozy cafés and interesting places, welcome. You’re home.
A Newsletter for You
I write a newsletter called The Sunday Newsletter. Every other week, I drop into your inbox with a little something: a mini Coffeezation & Tealisation to sit with, a recipe worth trying, a place worth visiting, or just a thought that’s been on my mind.
It’s meant to be read on a lazy Sunday morning, coffee or tea in hand, still in your comfy bed. If that sounds like your kind of Sunday, I’d love to have you.
With that, I welcome you to Saffron & Sunday. I’m really happy you’re here.
