The journey starts with the love of food, childhood nostalgia, curiosity and a willingness to experiment and create. Baker Gatherer brings these all together in a baking blog that inspires and engages your senses with photos and recipes that will encourage you to follow along on your own journey of sweet fusion.

My name’s Dane McGregor, your recipe maker and content creator here at Baker Gatherer. In essence Baker Gatherer is a food blog featuring recipes that I love to make, experiment with and see others enjoy.
I’m based in Hamilton, New Zealand and have degrees in graphic design as well as teaching. I’d like to consider myself a bit of a foodie at heart and enjoy spending a decent amount of time in the kitchen and thinking about what I’m going to eat next.
Others may disagree, but I admit I’m an amateur baker and am constantly learning and trialling new recipes and techniques. When something works for me I want to share these successes here on Baker Gatherer and see if others can give it a go. So let’s take this journey together and see what we can come up with.
