Hi, I’m Ann Low, the author of Anncoo Journal. I started blogging since 2009. It all started when a friend asked me to look up cake recipes online. Since then, I started my own blog Anncoo Journal. From a computer and gadget illiterate, I now shoot my own pictures and share my recipes on my blog. I love to try something different from experimenting with flavours to researching on ingredients.
After I retired from my office job, I wanted to have something to do at home. I took up baking and cooking lessons for about a year and progressively started to experiment at home like a mad scientist. I love to bake and cook for both my family and friends. I also acquired a strong passion for culinary skills from a very young age by watching my grandmother prepare delicious meals for the family. I gave my creations to my neighbours and friends who started to complain I was making them fat. When I blog, I get satisfaction from sharing my recipes with my online friends and chatting with them about baking. I also made a lot of good friends from blogging which makes my life more interesting. It spurs me to make at least three recipes per week but I cut down to two recipes now as I like to spend more time on exploring more recipes. I especially love baking because baked pastries can be kept in the fridge to be enjoyed for longer periods. They are also pretty to be given as gifts and it is heartwarming to know that my friends and family enjoy them. In my free time I also like to do some handicrafts and tend to my garden which grows a myriad of cooking ingredients and herbs like, basil leaves, curry leaves, dills, galangal, limau purut, pandan leaves ….
I remember my first creation was a blueberry cheesecake. In my ignorance, I put too much colouring that my friends’ and family’s teeth turned blue. While it was funny, it became a learning experience for me. I also try to use ingredients that are as natural as possible.
I believe that baking is an art and want to share my baking and cooking experiences with everyone in the world. So please feel free to browse around or you may like to click on my photo gallery at Recipe Index .
