Hello. I’m Roberta Reynolds.

I’d like to welcome you to Bird’s Nest Bakery and Café, a collection of ‘made from scratch’, seasonal recipes developed in my home kitchen. Bird’s Nest Bakery and Café is not a structure – It’s a state of mind. It means that cooking and baking don’t have to be scary or intimidating, and that it’s easy to make foods in your own kitchen every bit as good or better than going out.

I hope you’ll find this site a welcome and relaxing place where you can come for inspiration and ideas. Take a look, have fun, and feel free to modify these recipes to suit your particular palate. Please feel free to share these recipes with friends and family. After all, cooking and baking are meant to be shared with those we care about. That’s what’s so much fun about it!
