Cooking and baking, art and craft, travel

I love working out new food flavour and trying new recipes until i master the flavour. It took me 10 of attempts to succeed in baking the delicate Frech macarons. Seeing loved ones enjoy my food give me satisfaction of achievement and happiness. I would love to go to French to try their famous patisseries art.
