Life is Great

The Delicious Appreciations of Pick Yin

Not exactly predictable.
Has enough brains for codes
(but can be completely clueless on other more important matters).
Likes her Joe (and her man?) black, her chocolate dark and her food spicy.

    Hi Pick Yin,

    Thank you for posting great recipes. I have tried several of your recipes and they all turned out beautifully. I must say out of millions of food blogs out there only yours and Christine that I trust. I even bought Burke street bakery, deb perlman, magnolia bakery books but I still go back to yours. Thanks for posting such trusting recipes.
    Warm regards - AL Sydney
