She is Jacinta, but most of the time, her friends call her Jaja. She has created a website where she writes, cooks, and takes pictures at her home in Jakarta, Indonesia. Food is one of her biggest joys in life and the reason she started cooking. She is always curious to try new things and dreams of discovering the various foods around the world in her little kitchen.
She learned cooking and baking from her mom. Her first experience of baking ended up with burnt chocolate cookies because she idiotically forgot them in the oven. She almost got a kitchen ban from her family. However, she must say she got much better through her failures and mistakes along the way. This is her way of sharing all those hard-earned lessons with everyone.
One of the reasons she started food blogging is to share her love for cooking and baking. Most of her friends don't cook and tend to eat outside because they don't know where to learn to cook. Therefore, she wants to motivate everyone to start cooking, know the food ingredients, and enjoy the process of cooking through Jaja Bakes.
