Fall is the perfect time to bake some magic in your kitchen, and Ashley Manila will help you get the job done. Her blog Baker By Nature is filled with countless recipes for delicious treats, and she’ll teach you how to make everything from cupcakes and cookies to tacos and pies.
Manila describes herself as a dessert lover, wine enthusiast, pasta aficionado, and recipe perfectionist who loves cooking her days away from her kitchen in Manhattan. She’s a huge believer that food is the cornerstone of happiness and that some of the most memorable moments are created around the table.
Manila has been running her food blog for over a decade, and she started it in an attempt to help other people level up their baking and cooking skills.
“I know time is precious, so there’s no room in life for dry cake, burnt cookies, or bland pasta. I obsessively test recipes behind the scenes in pursuit of perfection and strive to be a trusted recipe resource for you and your loved ones. Essentially, I deal with recipe flops and mountains of dirty dishes so you don’t have to!” she writes on her blog.
Manila’s blog is home to hundreds of recipes for a wide variety of different foods, but baked goods are definitely her specialty. She has a soft spot for sweet treats, and she’ll inspire you to try baking some delicious new desserts this fall.
