IntroductionIt has been over 11 years since I began writing the Kitchen Alchemy blog. It began as a way for me to collect stories and recipes that I would include in a cook book. In the past six years, the cooking category in book sales has blown out of proportion - it seems people want to know how to cook everything and anything. This month I take one big step in my journey, with a book hitting the market about cupcakes - all recipes designed and photographed by me. Meanwhile, what about the Kitchen Alchemy cookbook? I have begun to piece it together. It will take time. But the dream is still alive.
InterestsDeveloping new and delicious cakes, taking common recipes and modifying them to my own taste, dining in expensive restaurants then discovering I can replicate their culinary creations for a fraction of the price!
