"Tasty, moist & sweet muffins using coconut milk in place of oil/butter/buttermilk. My first batch disappeared within ten minutes! Delicious served on their own or with a butter-cream frosting on top."

I love cooking. I'm not a great "chef" but nothing relaxes me more than spending hours (that i have to spare) in the kitchen inventing new dishes or trying out new recipes. Unfortunately, i'm a very picky eater myself so I tend to only cook things that I personally like, which is tough on my friends and family, but it means I put a lot of effort into making my meals extra-tasty!
