One thing I did not do last year in 2020 is bake my own bread – I managed to miss that trend. Luckily I can catch up with a bunch of bread baking cookbooks coming out this year. Even if we have to stay inside during the cold season, we will be more prepared! (Disclosure: Some of the links in ...
For those who don’t know, I am in love with Nadiya Hussain. Ever since I saw her on the Great British Bake Off, I knew she would soar as a cook! I talked about Nadiya’s previous cookbook in a previous blog post on Cookbook Divas that you guys should check out! Not only is her smile infectious, but her passion ...
June has been the most popular month to get married for many centuries. I can say that it is a fantastic month to get married. It isn’t too hot or cold and the flowers are still in bloom. It’s basically a free venue in our backyards. One thing that I wish I had the opportunity to do was make my ...
Here’s the “Little Tarts” book you’ve all been looking for! Shop for it here on Amazon (affiliate link). I’ve had a irresistible urge to start baking again.

Plus, the more I learn about baking bread the ‘normal’ way the more I can make adjustments for my dietary ...
I think we should reward ourselves for doing a splendid job eating well! I’ve missed most of the celebratory delights in January, so I think I can indulge in February. And quite frankly, I want to start baking a few desserts that aren’t pies, since we are finally out of the holiday season. (Disclosure: Some of the links in this ...
In some places, a singular phrase can illustrate a really complex emotion that can only be described in sentences or even paragraphs. For instance, “wabi-sabi” in Japanese is a word to describe finding beauty in imperfection or things that are unfinished or suffering. Then there is the word “petrichor” to describe the smell once it begins raining after days of ...
Have you ever wondered why there are a million cookbooks for bread? It’s something that our ancestors seemingly mastered as early as 8000 BC, but we still somehow need help.

I never grew up with upside down cake. I feel like I was robbed of the experience, because upside down cakes are quite tasty and pretty!
