So its been some time since I've had the chance and time to really immerse myself in the kitchen with the oven and I missed it. On my recent move from the States to Australia, I waited impatiently for my boxes to arrive. Everything I had was in the boxes, pots and pans, KitchenAid mixer, processor and blender, measuring cups, Nielsen-Massey Pure vanilla extract...and the list goes on.When everything was finally packed in its respective places, I decided to warm myself up to the new oven. Its winter in July, what better excuse to bake soft and cakey chocolate chip cookies, green tea and azuki red bean cake and warm apple crumble. As I dish out all the gadgets and the smell of freshly baked cookies and cakes fill the house, I was in a familiar place again. Irregardless of where I move, as long as I have the oven, I know I can find comfort there.
The comfort of knowing a certain amount of flour with baking powder, butter,sugar and chocolate chips will produce some soft and yummy chocolate chip cookies.
And storing them into a pretty jar makes my day.
