Bake with Lucie - April 2025

Hello April and welcome spring. Also happy Easter! I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day? My mum certainly did, I just love spoiling my mum. I hope you have also had a wonderful start to spring. This month I have got some more deliciously seasonal and yummy recipes for you all that are just perfect for Easter.  

My first recipe is my roast chicken egg fried rice. Spring onions are in season in April so this recipe is perfect for this month and oh so tasty. Also a great and different way to use up leftover chicken from your Sunday roast. Yummy!  

My second recipe is my Easter sprinkle crinkle cookies. These gorgeous cookies are so perfect for Easter and are just oozing spring vibes. They are super easy to make, you only need 6 ingredients, they are great fun to make with family, they taste amazing and are just…c’est magnifique! Simply delightful!  

We’ve also included a link to an asparagus quiche recipe from the WI – perfect for using up this most seasonal of spring recipes. 

Don’t forget you can share your photos of your wonderful creations on the WI Learning Hub website and share your thoughts on my recipes and ask any questions you may have.  

I hope you have a truly wonderful Easter and that you indulge in lots of yummy Easter eggs and deliciously good food, we certainly will. Happy baking and I hope you all love baking, cooking and enjoying my recipes. See you all in May!

Hi, I’m Lucie and it’s so very lovely to meet you. I’m your food and cookery baker, maker and writer and I love creating recipes that are new, exciting, seasonal and made with home grown ingredients for you all. I am 23 years old and I live in Hampshire with my lovely mum and our beautiful cats.

During my childhood I was brought up around food as my mum was a cookery teacher, (now French teacher), for schools and as soon as I was able, I had a wooden spoon in my hands. Me and my mum have always been close and cooking with her is one of my favourite things. My dad was a very good cook too but he sadly passed away from dementia when I was 8 years old. I have 2 sisters but they weren’t too interested in cooking so me and mum would spend hours in the kitchen baking and creating together.

Still to this day me and mum spend a good few hours every week shopping for ingredients and then cooking delicious things together. I think time spent cooking as a family is really important, it is wonderful to simply spend time with the ones you love and for an opportunity to develop new skills. I am part Scottish and Italian so home cooked food is a massive part of my family just as it is in the WI. Cookery is very important in the WI. Whether its jam making or cake baking it is one of the things that we all associated with the WI. My Grandmother and Godmother were both part of the same WI as me and mum, so it really is a family affair.

The WI is a wonderful community of people who join together with a collective view. Togetherness to learn and develop new skills and create a community that welcomes all. The WI is a wonderful way to meet new people and create long and lasting friendships. I really do love creating and baking for you all and I hope you enjoy my recipes and have as much fun making them as I do.
