Why do you love How To Cook That?
I love how to cook that as i have been watching Ann for years and always watch her videos when they first come out on friday. Ann has inspired me to make my own cakes and desserts, i always use the tips from her videos like chocolate tempering even when i’m not baking bakes. I think I love How To Cook That because it has guided me to what i want to be when i leave school, which is a cake/pastry chef and owning my own bakery/patisserie. I think Ann’s videos are wonderful and cheerful. I could watch them all day!!
