…now I can say it…I am half way on this amazing course and it’s been one of the best things I’ve set up to do:)
Today’s assignment: ‘Happy’ – Today’s Prompt: Tell us something about your favorite childhood meal — the one that was always a treat, that meant “celebration,” or that comforted you and has deep roots in your memory.
Oh, sweet childhood memories:)
“Remember the Friday feeling…
The excitement of the weekend,
The morning sunshine on your cheeks…
The kitchen table full of flour,
The taste of sugar and cocoa powder…
The touch and the love of her hands,
The dough rolling back and forward…
The journey to the cookie land.”
To my wonderful mum, who is my sweetest inspiration!

Note from the author:
This assignment brought back memories that are with me every time I open the baking recipe book.
I didn’t realise until today how much those weekends with my mum in the kitchen developed my love for sweetness, how in the back of my mind I still taste her Christmas biscuits and how proud I am to share her love for desserts.
Thank you for taking a short journey into the past along side my love for baking:)
I swear you’re writing skills get better by the day! Love your delivery…..:-)
Your mummy will be proud to see this. Can almost see the teary corner of her eye 😊😊
