Chocolate brownies


I was surprised when our school directress asked me if I could teach baking lessons on summer since there are numerous parents who are requesting the school to offer a summer workshop for their kids. I know I'm confident when it comes to cooking, but baking?? hhmm, I'm not so sure.My husband said that our boss trusts me that much to give me such an offer even though there is some one she knows who is more capable of doing it. Baking is a lot different since you have to follow every instructions and use several techniques and you have to carefully measure every ingredients or else it would come out not so good. Though I have practiced a lot even before I was asked to teach, still I feel the need to practice more. So here's one of the recipes I tested. So far according to my critics, it was delicious.
