@katfewd started off as a little Instagram page where I would share my cooking adventures and document my trials and errors along the way. As my number of recipes grew, it made sense to start a blog where I recipe develop and share my favourite recipes!

How did your passion with cooking start and what kind of foods are you most passionate about?

I started cooking during my gap year in order to (attempt) to eat less instant noodles in my first year of university, and realised I had so much fun in the kitchen! I love baking and experimenting with new recipes; you’ll find me getting my hands dirty kneading dough or watching food videos on YouTube for hours on end!

I love all food — so there’s all sorts of things I make, but in general I try to eat quite healthily! I enjoy finding ways to give my favourite foods healthy twists using more nutritious ingredients. I’m also a big believer in supporting local produce and brands, which I incorporate into my cooks and bakes as much as possible!

Aside from creating recipes, what do you do in your daily life?

I’m currently in my second year of university! I enjoy being outdoors and love fitness, my favourite would have to be spin (definitely have to exercise to burn of all those calories from trying out new recipes!) I also spend lots of time with my family, friends and my 14-year-old chihuahua, Scruffy!

How did you come up with this Christmas-inspired recipe?

I've always loved gingerbread cookies so I decided to incorporate matcha powder into my Christmas cookies this year!

What do you like about working with YURI / Matcha powder when creating this recipe?

The bright green YURI / Matcha was perfect for Christmas-tree shaped cookies.

Personal tips for your recipe viewers when working with Matcha recipes.

Be creative and go all out! Matcha powder is definitely a hidden gem in baking. Not only does it taste delicious but it is also full of all the good stuff — antioxidants, vitamins and minerals! Not to mention, with its vibrant shade of green it makes your cakes and tarts look divine!
