Welcome to my recipe collection. Most of my recipes are from cookbooks and magazines, or adapted from cooking website and food blogs. This page is a journal and list of recipes I’ve tried.
I like to be inspired by a recipe and then adapt it to make it healthier. However, I believe in eating everything in moderation so I also bake desserts that are decadent and enjoy on special occasion.
