How did you get into baking despite being a full time professional graphic designer?

I got into the baking trend during the MCO period. The shift to work-from-home, time became flexible thus making it easier to do things that I'm passionate about. I mostly spend the weekends tinkering with baking pastry & making dessert so juggle between work and kitchen fun during this period is pretty much manageable.

You are great in food styling too, with such beautiful visuals of your bakes on your IG account. Does being a graphic designer help in enhancing your creativity in food styling?

Photography, by extension food styling, is generally the interest of a designer as well as an essential skill set. These skill sets and past experiences definitely became an added advantage for my contents. I would usually have a good idea of how I want the outcome to be even before making them.

Image

Where do you get your inspiration for your recipes?

My inspiration usually comes from desserts that I've tasted myself from different parts of the world, as well as those that I came across over IG and YouTube. I like to decorate my work nicely, as such, I do a lot of research online, which in turn also gives me inspiration for my next project!

How did you come up with this Matcha Lemonade recipe?

For thirst-quenching, combine matcha and lemonade for refreshing chilled drinks in the afternoon. It creates sweet and nice vibrant colour yet taste refresh with a hint of matcha flavour!

How did you come up with Ajisai Matcha Dalgona Latte recipe?
This is an easy make-it at-home beverages that everyone can do barista-style drinks especially during this lockdown period again! And for some non-coffee person, can try this recipe by switching coffee with matcha, hope this take over social media and go viral again!

How did you find AJISAI / Matcha when creating recipes?

I find AJISAI / Matcha is great for making beverages, strong fragrant of matcha, smooth texture and slightly bitter undertones, definitely addictive.
