My mom had such a passion for baking that I couldn’t help but pick it up as I grew up. I found myself spending most of my spare time cooking and baking, trying different recipes from many popular cookbooks and If I wasn’t in the kitchen, I was participating in cooking forums and sharing my recipes and cooking experiences with pastry and cake.
When I finally graduated from high school I was thinking about the move to university grounds and how I would struggle with my hobby, because I couldn’t afford to buy my own oven let alone stuff it inside a college dorm. My mom was so keen on this that she knew exactly what to give me as a going away present; a Krups all in one convection toaster oven.
It could broil, boil, grill and the best part is it was wide enough to accommodate a modest 9×9 cake pan for baking! I have to say that it is the best convection toaster oven I have ever laid eyes on. I was so happy because it did serve it’s purpose and was beyond my expectation of what a convection toaster oven could do. It was the best present I ever got.
