How to enjoy a perfectly mixed hot beverage without using a stirrer
As a former barista, little strikes me as more wasteful than the gigantic piles of coffee straws, stir sticks, and spoons that reliably accompany every warm beverage display.

It’s all in the swirl!

If you feel like $5 is a little too much to be paying for a litre of yoghurt then follow me, friends, and I’ll show you how to make your own for half the price, if not less.
Letting food consume you: Being careful how we talk about food
Everyday conversations about food usually involve negative phrases that we don’t even think about using. As a baker, my personal pet peeve is any variation of, “I’m going to have to spend an extra thirty minutes on the treadmill after eating this.” I want you to enjoy my baking, not feel guilty over it.
