Bakery Chocolate and Berries Cookies
"Cooking and spending time in the kitchen is such a joyful and therapeutic time. It’s the time of me catching up with… myself, my thoughts, doing some thinking, contemplating, planning ahead and calling my family and friends. Don’t ask me why, but I do tend to get quite excited about healthier recipes. I think many of us do have this tendency nowadays to opt for healthier eating. We do need to indulge ourselves but yet choose healthier ingredients and ways of cooking our food for a healthier us. It’s also a bit of fashion, right?"
