Originally growing up in Northumberland, Rebecca now lives in Cumbria with her family.

When she began weaning her daughter Nina onto solid food at 6 months she wanted to cook once for herself and her daughter to save time, but struggled to find recipes that were suitable for herself and her daughter.

After extensive research into what foods babies can and can’t have, Rebecca discovered that with some imagination and creativity, it was possible to cook meals that babies and adults could enjoy together. She applied her personal love of cooking to creating recipes for her and Nina which brought some variety and spark to their weaning journey.

Soon, she started sharing her recipe ideas and weaning journey (the highs and lows) on her Instagram channel, originally called What Mummy Makes. 

Very quickly the audience grew, with more and more people inspired to try Rebecca’s method of cooking for their family just once.

Today she is a published author of five top selling books, including her latest release Budget Family Food.
