When I say I like making things, unfortunately it doesn't
extend to baking. My baking repertoire is, shall we say, rather limited. In fact, the only thing I can bake successfully
is shortbread. I can make them in my sleep, but anything else is a hit or
a miss and more likely to be the latter.
The experience of watching Episode IV in the cinema back
in 1977 never left me. I still remember queuing for ages, waiting in
anticipation and not knowing what to expect.
Considering I had only arrived in London from Hong Kong 3 years earlier,
not able to speak a word of English, I wasn’t sure how I would take it. But from the moment the Imperial Star
Destroyer scrolled onto the screen, it was enough. I was completely blown away by the ground-breaking
special effects and kept wondering, how do they do that? So needless to say, I was
thrilled when I came across these fabulous cookie cutters by Williams-Sonoma.

I am going to treat myself this Christmas and buy
these cutters. Shortbread has just become a whole
lot better.
