Welcome to Baking Like a Chef

Hello! I'm Irina, and I am genuinely thrilled that you are here. To get to know me more, please read About me and my journey.

Let's start and talk desserts! Because that is why you visited my blog. Right?

Recipes

The recipes you find here are devoted to everyday and holiday desserts, breakfast, and snack options, and recently started a new journey to no-sugar-added baking.

This is where to discover French, Italian, and other dessert recipes and get inspired to create your own ones.

Baking tools

Baking and creating in the kitchen is science, experimentation, and art.

So let's start with the Baking Essentials Checklist, a can't-miss list of ALL you need to whip up sweet treats.

Also, check baking essentials for beginners and experienced bakers.

A kitchen scale. I highly recommend investing in a good kitchen scale for the best baking results.

Yes, you can use a scoop and level method, but think about it - what one person scoops into a measuring cup is entirely different from what someone else digs.

Also, discover and learn how to use the best baking tool ever - Cake Pan Converter. You will love it!

I generously share all the baking tips and tricks I learned during my baking journey.
