Homemade granola, little cakes, cookies, jams and marmalade, I urge all kinds of edible gifts upon family and friends when I visit them. I always try to wrap it up real nice because ‘presentation is everything’. They seem to like it and I have the pleasure of making and baking. A lot of people I know do not find it a pleasure at all to cook and bake. They start to apologize to me: ‘I really should bake a cake myself sometime’. This makes absolutely no sense to me. If you do not like it and it feels like a chore, please don’t do it! You probably have other hobbies don’t you?
