Hi, I’m Angel.
I’ve always loved the kitchen. It’s, I would say, the best part of any house. It’s what turns a house into a home, you know what I mean? It’s where you pour out your love and serve it to your loved ones.
This might sound a little embarrassing to say, but I used to think baking was my passion. Until one night, as I sat quietly alone after cooking for four days in a row, following this old cookbook passed down from my mum, I realized: I love cooking. It doesn’t feel like a chore or a routine, which is what baking started to feel like. I don’t feel that spark in baking anymore (though I mean no disrespect to it!).
I just never realized how much joy cooking brings me. I used to tell people that I went to baking school because I watched a lot of baking videos and one day decided to learn it. But no! I remembered now, that wasn’t true. What I really wanted was crushed. I never even watched baking videos. It was always cooking videos. Every single day during Covid, my favourite thing to watch, and i would only watch from this specific cook, no jokes but I'm quite sure I've watched everything she cooked on her channel. I’d fall in love with it again and again.
When I told my parents I wanted to study culinary, they thought I wasn’t suitable for it… just like when I wanted to learn drums as a kid but got pushed into piano instead.
But back to cooking! This blog is where I’ll document my adventures through The Encyclopedia of Family Cooking. One recipe at a time, one story at a time. I’m not a professional chef, just a girl who loves a good meal and the comfort it brings.
So, here’s to spoonfuls of joy, learning, and maybe a huge mess or two in the kitchen.
Welcome to Angel’s Spoonfuls.
