I am a Chinese teenage girl who is a beginner in cooking...especially desserts. I have a really sweet tooth, and it is of course not surprising that I am a chocoholic...I cannot live a day without munching on at least one piece of chocolate!
(By the way, the combination of hazelnut praline and dark chocolate is my favourite...how about you?)
To compensate my passion for chocolate and desserts as a weight watcher, I would turn to low fat main meal ideas. (Actually the fat and sugar content of most desserts are scary enough...but as long as I am "ignorant" of the ingredients, who cares?)
I know I definitely would be enjoying my time on Zaar, with all your recipe ideas and generous help to my cooking queries...
Thanks for those who offer me help!
