Hey there! I'm Nika, and welcome to Baking Now and Then! This is where we'll be hanging out every other week, exploring the world of delicious, wholesome baking. I'm a recipe developer and baker living in beautiful San Francisco, and I'm totally obsessed with finding that sweet spot where traditional baking meets healthy eating.
My baking journey took off with wholewheat sourdough. There's something just magical about taking flour, water, and salt and turning it into something amazing. Watching that dough rise in my oven, filling my kitchen with that incredible smell…well, it was more than just a hobby. It sparked this whole adventure that's still going strong today.
While I love those classic baking recipes, my real passion is creating recipes with wholesome ingredients and a mindful amount of sugar and fat. To me, it's more about finding that perfect balance letting each ingredient shine. Travel is a huge inspiration for me. Every place I visit teaches me something new about baking, and those experiences always find their way into my recipes.
Every other week, you'll get a new recipe and story delivered straight to your inbox. Whether you're a seasoned baker looking for healthier options or just starting out, I'm excited to be a part of your baking journey.
