About Me

I’m Mark Renshaw, the creator of Val’s Recipe Box, a food blog dedicated to preserving the heart and soul of home cooking.

This project started as a simple tribute to my grandmother, Val, whose handwritten recipe cards were my first lessons in the kitchen.

Her dishes weren’t just meals; they were stories, memories, and acts of love.
