Welcome to My Kitchen!
I’m Petra – a wife, mother and food lover, and I’m so happy you are here! Here in my kitchen I am sharing quick and easy family recipes that will make you fall in love with cooking all over again.
They say cooks cook to nurture and I couldn’t agree more. I love to gather around the table or in the kitchen with family and friends to share a good meal or a favorite treat. There is something therapeutic about the smell of freshly baked bread, the scent of simmering beef bourguignon, or the aroma of roasting potatoes. Good food has the ability to bring us together and help us create fun memories.
Why Donuts2Crumpets?
I’m a self-taught cook and baker who was born across the sea in England, married on the East Coast in Maryland, and currently live in Riverton, Utah. My recipes are a fun mix of everything from donuts, (my American life), to crumpets, (my English roots!) I have a passion for creating yummy food and love to help people increase their confidence in the kitchen and find a love of cooking by sharing quick, easy and incredibly delicious recipes that anyone can make!
This recipe blog is a journal of our food adventures that I put together so that my kids would have all of our favorite recipes for their families. It is something I do 100% as a hobby in my spare time because I truly love it, not to make money, so the site is ad-free! (I am an Amazon Associate and may earn a small commission for qualifying purchases through affiliate links to help cover blog costs.) I only post a few times a month so you know you are getting tried and true recipes that have been fully tested. So come join me in my kitchen and let’s start cooking together!

I’ve been married to my sweet hubby and best friend, Mike, for 30 years. We have two grown up kids, Dee & Mike Jr and a sweet little fur baby named Miles. I’m also an MS warrior, (diagnosed in 2017.)
