I've been blogging since 2008 over at my Cornish Food Blog Jam & Clotted Cream, and since 2020 here at Effortless Foodie. In 2023 I started a Cornish travel blog at Cornish Compass, which aims to give visitors and locals up-to-date information on all things Cornwall, from the best restaurants and eateries to must-visit wineries in the region.
Food and recipe development is my absolute passion in life, and one that I now call my full-time career. This blog was born out of a desire to showcase simple, family-friendly recipes that work every time and most importantly, are effortless and fuss-free to make.
With that in mind, what you'll definitely not find on this blog are long and complicated recipes, recipes that take hours to make, and recipes that use weird, expensive ingredients that despite your best efforts, you can't find anywhere!
More about Beth & the blog
I started Effortless Foodie to share my fuss-free, family-friendly recipes and to make dinner time as stress-free as possible.
I currently shoot with a Canon 6D. The two lenses I use are a Canon f/1.4 50mm lens and a Canon f/2.8 100mm (for beautiful close-ups).
My top 6 dinner recipes for kids are:
Easy Macaroni Cheese
Simple Savoury Mince
Mild Chicken Curry
Slow Cooker Pulled Beef
Pork Mince Bolognese
Homemade Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets
Impossible question for me to answer! I use (and love) both equally. It's like asking me if I have a favourite child!

1. Air Fryer - I use a Ninja Foodi and love it.
2. Slow Cooker - I've tried several but the Morphy Richards 3.5l Sear and Stew is hands down my favourite.
3. Mini Chopper - my manual mini chopper is a game-changer, especially for dicing onions and vegetables into tiny pieces—perfect for sneaking them into meals for picky eaters.
4. Standing Mixer - you can't beat a KitchenAid - mine has been going strong for 17 years.
5. Soup Maker - I didn't think I needed one, and now I can't live without my Morphy Richards 1.6l Soup Maker. It makes the smoothest creamiest soups.
