Thank you Raffi, your words are as warm as a freshly baked muffin! I can make some recommendations when you decide to start :)

I miss your effortless (non scientific) banana bread nonetheless. I loved reading this; it felt like I was there with you. What are you cooking next?

Yara! Coming from one of my favourite writers, your kind words mean so much! Next up was hinted at in the first newsletter... stay tuned (and subscribed! haha) I hope you'll enjoy it as much as the muffins.

P.s. Make the muffins! They're SO easy, just make sure you stick to that recipe and buy cheap scales if you don't already have some.

Loved reading it I laughed last time I made blueberry muffins I forgot the baking powder they never puffed up but were dense and hard

Today I redeemed myself another batch and checked and double checked that I used all the ingredients!!

On another note I have Nigella Express and a couple of Ina Gartenā€™s books I like her !!

Randa, thank you for reading! Isn't it such a sad moment to realise you left something so important out?! I'll never forget again... the recipe is so important when baking!

Nigella is one of my favourites, and Ina too. You will love her article from today in the NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/16/dining/ina-garten-barefoot-contessa.html

I hear you! You are so spot on, and I share the similar journey to yours. I do realise that the artistic side of doing things will kick back again once you've mastered the science! Do you agree? Love you ā¤ļø
