The Happy Home Baker Cookbook

Rie grew up in Hiroshima, Japan, and was first introduced to baking at age seven. Intrigued and wanting to understand the science behind baking, Rie began experimenting endlessly in the kitchen. She later developed her skills by attending advanced patisserie and bread courses at culinary institutes including Ecole Gastronomique Bellouet Conseil in Paris, France, and Niigata Sogo Gakuin (NSG) in Tokyo, Japan. Rie believes that baking at home should be enjoyable and free from complicated techniques. She develops her recipes based on this philosophy and shares her creations on Instagram.
