Peanut Butter Almond Brownies Recipe

As part of our series with amazingly talented food bloggers and grammers, today we meet Liv Brown. A 27 year old Londoner, Liv loves this city and has lived here her whole life. Three of her greatest passions in life, along with friends and family, are food, cooking and travelling. Liv has loved all things food related since as far back as she can remember.

 

From travelling abroad since she was a child, exploring food markets and the vibrant smells and tastes from different cultures when abroad with her mum, or being lucky enough to go to an array of yummy restaurants with her family whilst growing up.  All these things really sparked her passion.

 

Liv started her Instagram account in the middle of lockdown this year. She was put on furlough and thought it was the perfect time to 'put her passion in paper'. Liv is kicking things off with this delectably gooey indulgence - enjoy!
