Full Bio:
Meet Michael Chang
I'm Michael, and my kitchen is almost always covered in a light dusting of flour. I grew up in a household where fruit was the default dessert, which naturally made me obsessed with all things baked, buttery, and sweet. I started baking in college as a way to de-stress from exams, and before long, my tiny dorm kitchen was churning out birthday cakes for everyone I knew.
My Culinary Philosophy
The Science of Sweet: I believe that understanding the "why" behind baking makes you a better baker. I focus on explaining the science of ingredients so you can bake with confidence.
Accessible Elegance: My approach is taking modern, impressive desserts and breaking them down into simple, foolproof steps for the home kitchen.
Balance is Key: I always aim for desserts that are perfectly sweet but never cloying. I love incorporating unexpected flavors and a pinch of salt to balance the sugar.
My Background & Expertise
Though my background is in engineering, my heart has always been in the bakery. I apply my analytical mindset to recipe testing, baking a single chocolate chip cookie recipe sometimes twenty times just to get the exact chewy-to-crispy ratio. I've spent the last decade reading pastry textbooks and mastering home baking techniques so that you don't have to guess. Here at Hanna Recipes, I'm excited to guide you through your baking journey, one perfect batch at a time.
