About Jeff’s Baking Blog

Meet Jeff Coombs

This blog started in 2011, when I enrolled in an 18-week Bakeshop Skills class to become a better baker. The class began on January 18, and at the time I planned to use this space to share photos, recipes, techniques, and the projects I was working on both in class and at home.

I had built blogs before as a graphic designer, including one for myself that I never really used. This one finally felt like the right fit. It brought together three things I still love: graphic design, baking, and photography.

Homemade Baking and Family Recipes

I live in San Diego with my partner, Mark. Mark is gluten intolerant, so many of the recipes I explored were wheat-free, gluten-free, or lower-gluten experiments. I’m also a pescatarian who eats dairy, so a lot of what I make reflects the way we actually eat at home.

From-Scratch Baking, Baking Tips, and Techniques

What began as a class blog has become a record of learning, experimenting, and finding the overlap between food, design, and everyday life.
