INTERVIEW WITH @j.foodie99

Your tagline mentions your recipes are 70% healthy and 30% indulgent — how did your journey with food start?

Everything started ever since the pandemic. My makeup career totally stopped. Instead of continuing to feel stressful and depressed, I decided to heal myself with food. I started to create my own ritual of life by cooking, taking photos, videos and recipe-sharing on my IG account. Most of my posts are about my healthy daily eats. Sometimes I do indulge myself with my favorite foods too. That’s why my tagline mentioned 70% healthy and 30% indulgent.

Any tips to your viewers on living a health-conscious life?

There is such a strong connection between happiness and food. Healthy eating can be fun and creative, but don't forget to indulge yourself with your favorite food every now and then. Be happy and wise with the food choices you make. You deserve to nourish your body with the nutrients it needs to lead a healthy life.

Personal tips for your recipe viewers when working with Matcha recipes.

As the health benefits of Matcha are endless, it's definitely great to consume it in your daily meals!

How did you come up with Matcha Cranberry Almond Biscotti?

I've always loved having a nice afternoon tea and snacking, hence the reason why I love getting creative with my food. One that i really love snacking on is Biscottis. This sparked some inspiration for the Cranberry Almond Biscotti - it's my current favourite!

Why did you choose REN / Matcha powder for this recipe?

The slight bitterness from REN / Matcha powder help balance the sweetness of the cookie and really amplifies it with the distinct umami flavour. Honestly a perfect blend!

BY @J.FOODIE99

Bake time: 20 mins

Ingredients

8g REN / Matcha powder
265g All-purpose flour
125ml Vegetable oil
120g Caster sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp Salt
2 Whole eggs

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, vegetable oil and eggs together. Add in almonds and dried cranberries and mix well.
Next, sift the flour, REN / Matcha powder, salt and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add this to the wet mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Shape the dough into two logs, place on a baking tray, brush the top with egg wash and bake for 30 minutes at 160 degrees.
Cool the log on the tray a little but still warm to touch.
