How to be a fantastic Home Baker

>Baking ain’t easy- no matter how easy your grandma may make it look. Confidence is absolutely vital for anyone that wants to succeed in anything. However, it’s even more important when trying your hand at something you’re not proficient in, such as home baking.

When you step into your kitchen with every intention of whipping up some cupcakes for your friends or family, you want to come out with a masterpiece. As a home baker, you may not have access to the best and latest equipment.

We know that you only have a limited number of mixing bowls to work with, 2 or 1 oven rack, and not nearly enough fridge space. So, if you’ve been making mistakes, it’s completely understandable. The good news is that it is possible to elevate your baking skills, even when such limitations are standing in your way.

Creamy Chicken Pie

OXO Good Grips is setting us yet another interesting blogger challenge! This time around they are challenging us to do a winter warmer recipe. I had so many ideas running through my mind like cooking Fish Head curry, Tom Yum soup, chicken stew and many more. Then I thought to myself that I like baking and making my own pastry. Recently, I had learnt how to make Choux pastry. So I am very keen to learn how to make a nice pastry for a pie and make creamy chicken pie. It is one of those simple but delicious foods that is ideal for this recent inclement weather.
