Cooking in December

· How did you learn to cook?

By watching many different cooking videos, but also by following recipe books. I’ve always loved cooking and, when I was younger, I used to do cooking contests with my friends.

· What do you love the most about cooking?

I love the creativity behind it. I really like how we can create something edible with our own ideas, by personalising it, for example: we can add different colours and decorations. We can create new dishes by using our imagination. I also like how cooking can be a really fun activity to do with family and/or friends.

· What is your favourite dish?

I don’t have a favourite dish, but if I could only pick one, it would be cupcakes!

· Are there any recipes you want to share for the newspaper article?
