Hi there! I'm Tatiana Kamakura, the recipe developer, writer, food stylist and photographer behind Milk and Pop.
Baking always had a special place in my heart: it started as a hobby, then I fell in love with. I created Milk and Pop to share all my tested and easy-to-follow bread and baking recipes, plus some extra coffee and breakfast ideas.

A little background about me
Cooking has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I was no more than five years old when I first started experimenting with ingredients on a neon pink toy stove. I'd scavenge around my backyard for anything I could use, and voila! A mini non-edible masterpiece was born.
Thirty years later and I'm still passionate about it, creating (now with real ingredients) mouth-watering baking and breakfast recipes.
My kitchen is a delightful journey of flavors and textures. I'm a half Italian, half German that grew up in a small town in the south of Brazil, so you can trust me when I say: I have the best Brazilian carrot cake recipe for you!
