Home made light buns

I’ve been dreaming about home made light buns. No preservative, no added tastes, or artificial sweeteners. The kind of buns, you can eat not feeling guilty. Baking is all about science, after all. Put more of this ingredient or less, you get a hole different result. I told this to Natalie, a great pastry chef, and one of my newest friends over the phone. She was willing to give it a go, and we decided to get together and try my theory in a real kitchen.It’s very rare to meet good friends after your twenties. Or perhaps it’s only rare to people like me, that work from home. I guess, if you have an office job, you get to meet new people that can become good friends much easier. Well as rare as it may be,I was lucky enough to meet Natalie.

The truth is, that I was a groupie of here ever since I first read here brilliant blog. It was a match made in even, since apparently we bough share the same passion to sports, baking, photography, and of course drinking coffee in the middle of the day. Less than a month past, from our first encounter, and we got together for a fun day. You might think a fun day, is a spa day. For us though, it was all about baking, and photography.I don’t know if you ever got to bake or cook, with your friends. So let me tell you, it’s one of my favorite past times. We listen to some kitsch tunes, and even danced to the bite. No pretense. No boring, boring agendas. Just two girls that really get a thrill out of baking light healthy stuff, standing on chairs, positioning a tripod, and photographing said baked goods. Match made in heaven.
