Welcome to Baking Now and Then!

Hi, I'm Nika, a recipe developer and baker based in San Francisco, and the writer of Baking Now and Then. Baking Now and Then is a bi-weekly newsletter exploring the delicious world of baking from different cultures, while keeping things wholesome and nutritious. I'm passionate about finding the balance of flavor and nutrition, so in my kitchen, I spend a lot of time experimenting with recipe development, tweaking ingredients and techniques to find that sweet spot. In each newsletter, I share the resulting recipes with you, so you can bake with confidence and enjoy every bite.
