Cream the butter with the sugar, add an egg, some vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon. Make a mini-well in the flour, nuts and chocolate chip mixture and pour in the buttery goodness. Use a little elbow grease to mix everything evenly with a rubber spatula and voilà! The recipe of life! Or at least a path in life I am walking and willing to walk.
If you ask anyone who knows well what kind of person I am, I'm positively, if not absolutely and undoubtedly sure that they'll at some point mention how my eyes seem to glitter and shine each and every time someone mentions about sweets, desserts or just food in general. Yes, I admit, I am extremely drawn to sweets, confectionery goods, cakes, chocolate, muffins and other baked goods. Some may be satisfied and find comfort in the simply idea of tasting those savory food of the gods, but for me, baking and making them is as important as enjoying them.
Food is not only about fueling our bodily needs; it's about gathering people together, building a bridge of understanding between cultures, healing and mending old emotional wounds, warming up frozen and lonely hearts, painting smiles on strangers, making people fall in love with one other...
These are some of the reasons why I cook, why I am driven to bake...why I aspire to become a chef. It is through this passion that this blog is created; to document my progress and to share my experience. Why horde recipes and eat alone instead of giving everyone the opportunity to discover something new and different?
Now, let's start this journey!
