I have an admission. Prior to opening this cookbook I had no idea who Nagi Maehashi was nor what Recipetin Eats was.

It was Scott’s birthday this weekend so I asked him what he wanted cooked to celebrate his birthday. He chose muffins, one of his favourite food groups.

I’m going to be in Europe for a couple of weeks as of next weekend, so this project will be on hold (I’ll try and avoid buying cookbooks, and taking them with me) while I’m there, but will recommence on the weekend of 25 August. Anyway… this weekend was Italian Food Safari, which again taught …
