What better way to test them than with some home baked cookies? There's nothing complicated about the process (especially if you cheat like me and buy a packet mix) I only struggled with the urge to eat the raw dough. I'm only human.

EU Banning Plastics

Recent media exposure of the issue of huge … [Read more...]
