Would you like to learn about me? Hello and welcome! My name is Irina, I am the mother of two wonderful sons, the wife of a loving husband and a full-time working professional.
BLAC – the abbreviation of Baking Like a Chef – is the place where I share recipes of delicious desserts to make at home.
When It All Began
I have been baking since I was 9 years old when I was collecting recipes from my mom’s old magazines and baking early in the morning on weekends. Sometimes, when my baking was not turning out the way I wanted, I threw it away and started all over. I was persistent…
Over the years, my baking skills have improved and the hobby of my childhood has become a passion and an essential part of my life. There is a nice quote: “Do more of what makes you happy,” and baking really does the job for me.

All my passion is about desserts. Here, on my blog, I share recipes adapted or inspired by world’s most known chefs, twists on classic desserts and my own creations.
All the recipes contain step by step photographed explanations to ensure you can success in your home kitchen.
