Meet the Creator/Editor

Hey there! I’m Leslie B. — a working professional by day, gamer by night, and passionate food creator whenever I can sneak into the kitchen. I love the idea of inspiring people to cook and bake. So many young adults do not know how to cook for themselves, and I am dedicated to showing how rewarding and fun the kitchen can be.

I actually learned to bake before I learned to cook, and began baking at age 14 and was inspired by watching the many chefs on FoodNetwork channel. My parents never made many baked-goods from scratch, so I wanted to try my hand at baking. Cooking has always been my way to unwind, recharge, and get creative. Over time, I realized I wasn’t just making meals — I was crafting experiences that combined my love for storytelling, gaming, and good food.

That’s how this blog was born — a space where I share baked goods, meal ideas, and recipes inspired by the worlds I love most, from cozy comfort foods to treats straight out of your favorite games and movies. Gamefoodie and Leslie Cooks are new adventures that started in early 2024 and has been growing since. I welcome everyone on this new adventure. 

Cocreator/Photographer

Hello!! I’m Chris B. I have always enjoyed cooking, gaming, and storytelling. I am a gaming and storytelling Youtuber, and I love making videos that breakdown storylines and lore from many different movies and videogame titles, especially the Legend of Zelda and Hogwarts Legacy. When Leslie asked me to join this blog, I was more than happy to oblige. I am the main graphic designer and photographer for the content on this blog. I love the idea of making things that speaks to my love of art, movies, and videogames. This project is an other way that we can connect ideas and reach more people.

What You’ll Discover Here

This blog is for anyone who loves delicious food with a creative twist. You’ll find:

• Baked goods that taste like they came straight from a cozy café.
• Meal ideas for every mood and occasion — whether you’re hosting friends, meal prepping, or just craving something homemade.
• Themed recipes inspired by pop culture — think fantasy feasts, gamer snacks, and dishes that bring fictional worlds to life.

My goal is to make cooking approachable, fun, and full of imagination — so you can create food that makes people smile (and maybe feel a little nostalgic, too).
