'Baking'...a word that fills me with warmth and memories of apple pies! When I was younger, I was obsessed about baking apple pies. It's funny now to think that not one person in my family (except me) liked apple pies, but they all ate it when I made one. Well, I was 17 then and my parents were probably happy that I was experimenting in the kitchen and not elsewhere!
After apple pies (lots of them), didn't do much until about 3 years ago when it was the health conscious era in my life and I tried a few healthy banana nut breads. My biggest problem with baking is the time in the oven. I am terrified of a burnt product and hence I almost always take it out just before its done.
Recently we moved and a new clutter free bigger kitchen that makes me want to try so many different goodies. This time, I want to pen down the recipes along with my experience and the outcome. So, this blog is my online recipe lookup place plus I can go back and make improvements. My plan is to get them right with the original recipe (which I am getting off internet - different sources) and then make up a healthier (and hopefully yummy) version of most recipes.
Food is as much about the smell as the visual or taste. What I love about baking is how it fills up the entire house with this happy feeling aroma!
My source for recipes is the whole wide world of Internet. I read through a few recipes, pick the one with a simple procedure and with lesser 'special' ingredients. I don't like buying a whole lot of special things for one dish and then waste them coz they will lie in my cabinets until they expire. Also, I think when you start out, its important to pick a simple procedure. The fewer steps, the lesser chances of messing things up. :)
And yes...I only bake when I am in a good mood...it's so important to add in some love into ur recipe, else its never going to taste the best!
