she bakes, she experiments, she writes | a blog by Queenie Lu
Welcome to HerBakingLab! I am Queenie, the baker, photographer, web designer, cookbook nerd, “lab technician” (AKA mess-maker) and dishwasher behind HerBakingLab.
Bakers are some serious scientists. We invent. We test. We fail. And we do it all over again, tirelessly. It’s not hard to find a recipe nowadays, but it’s extremely hard to find a recipe that we want to hide high in our kitchen cabinet, and secretly pass to our grandchildren. We have all wasted too many good ingredients and too much time on mediocre recipes. Hence, HerBakingLab is born. From bestselling cookbooks to random websites (or someone’s grandma’s kitchen if I get lucky), I am your recipe investigator to test them all. For each recipe I tried, I’ll write a “lab report” that’s fun to read (and nothing like my 10th grade lab report!). 🤣
