Finished Pumpkin Sausage Soup
Pumpkin and sausage soup garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprig of rosemary, and served with a slice of sourdough bread.

I’ve created this second blog because I’ve come across a lot of recipes over the years, from old family recipes to adaptations of recipes from old cookbooks, to my own experimentation. I’ve enjoyed writing about homebrew recipes in my first blog, Brewing Mischief, but lately I’ve wanted to write about food recipes that don’t quite fit in there. So welcome to Cooking Mischief!

This site is still under construction while I write out some recipes and test out some new ones.
