Sweet + Savory Secrets
Try using more cinnamon and cloves. I love to use them in sweet dishes as well as savory ones.
Fruit Powders for Color
The variety of fruit powders has grown. I use them very often. It´s a great opportunity for flavoring and coloring dishes, especially when the fruits aren’t in season.
What does wellness mean to you?
Wellness is having a long, relaxing walk through nature or reading a book with a cup of tea, and some cookies of course!

Melt couverture in a water bath and add a tsp of oil. Drip it over the cupcakes.
