hello, it’s me! i wish i had a valid reason for why i’ve been gone for what feels like forever, but i don’t. lately, i just haven’t had the desire to share recipes. every time i sit to write a blog post, i don’t. my life has actually felt like nothingness lately. i don’t watch […]
Hello! Hi! Welcome! It has been a quick couple of minutes – and by that, I mean, it has been almost 2 and 1/2 months. This blog has been dormant for a long time – and I wish I could say it’s because I’ve been busy exploring the world, busy taking in the last moments […]
The worst thing about becoming older is that the people around you are also becoming older, which means everyone’s life is going in a totally different direction. Those who you love are probably moving to a new place, beginning a new journey — and so you no longer hold same space in that person’s life. […]
I have a list of desserts I would like to make at some point in my life — my “baking bucket list.” Homemade strawberry cake has been on it for ages, and for some reason, I just never thought of baking it. I always thought it would be too hard or too time consuming, but […]

Would you believe me if I said that this loaf has changed my life? Well, it has. It is unbelievably easy to make, and undeniably delicious to eat. It is soft and firm, tangy and sweet; it is everything. My brother was craving lemon loaf one night, so we did what anyone would do — […]
This cheesecake has transformed my perception of love. I will only accept a person who complements me as well as this chewy, crispy cookie and delicate, sweet cheesecake. Someone who will treat me like chocolate ganache; it’s gold. I have always thought it is weird that people use relationship-centric rhetoric to describe food. “They complement […]
If I could describe myself as a dessert, I would say I am a cheesecake. A cheesecake is simple — only needing a couple of ingredients. Cream cheese, eggs, sugar, etc. and there you go. A cheesecake is flexible. Don’t love Oreos? Add strawberry jam instead. Not a fan of that either? Don’t add any […]
