I think that I like cooking things with a high effort to glory ratio; that is the least effort for the greatest impression. Sadly, my minimal efforts on my photography here leave little impression and [...] [...] I needed to have a re-bake of my matcha muffins, as I was recently approached by Vitalife Matcha who asked to use my recipe in their upcoming matcha recipe e-book. Being a responsible type, I thought that I better cook the recipe again, tweak, double check weights & measurements and check that the muffins were [...] [...] I have been saving that appalling pun for an appropriate recipe, which seems to be some muffins that I made for breakfast this morning.

An apple, a pear, a plum, or a cherry, any good thing to make us all merry. One for [...] [...] I am sure that chocolate crispies are one of the first things that anyone learns to cook, I certainly have a memory as a young child of making them with my mother.
