Hello, I'm Pauline, a passionate home cook with over 40 years of recipe development experience and over 12 years of food blogging. I live in Tropical North Queensland. What began as a simple way to document family recipes has grown into Happy Retiree's Kitchen, a trustworthy source for achievable, delicious recipes. I'm a self-taught cook and food and travel blogger, and have spent over a decade perfecting how to make home cooking achievable, flavoursome, and very accessible. Let's cook.
Boiled fruit cakes are excellent to fall back on when in a rush, and knowing that I will want cake in the house when I return from being away this is perfect.
