I do not cook very often, but when I do, I love doing bread and/or pastries using yeast... It is kind of fun
1. It is just for recreation
2. Nope, sometimes I just wake-up with the need to cook something.
3. All sorts of things, but I find using yeast fascinating... My best so far Kugelhopf
4. Nope, but maybe I should.
5. I have special technics to cut the vegetables... Carrots are my all time favorite...
