My First Part Time Job: Bagel Shop

My first part time job was at a bagel chain.  I used to make samplers for customers to try, but I would often get into an argument with my manager since he did not think it was a sampler, and rather free bites of chocolate chip bagels. I only put the one kind of bagel [...]

Matcha Sesame Cheesecake

In my quest to find some delicious matcha recipes, I discovered that it’s not really a popular baking ingredient in the United States.

Chai Doughnuts

It’s been a while since I told you how much I love chai. Probably like, what, a week? I jest. Long-time readers know it is true, I have a slight chai addiction and I’m not afraid to admit it. The weather here in the New England has been amazing lately — hovering around the 70 [...]
