About

My name is May. A passionate Sourdough Baker | visit frognerkitchen.no

I put my tears into perfection. That means selling a loaf with highest oven spring, airy crumbs while holding all the best best ingredients into the bread and putting a signature of my scoring is what my customers would pay for a home-baked quality.

I lived in Switzerland, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), and Norway today.

As a Malaysian, I thrive in multi-cultural collaborations and new opportunities. Trailing spouse with 2 settled little girls at barneskole. I believe in treating others with kindness through trust and baking. This philosophy of mine is at the heart of everything that I do.
