    My name is Azu. I am a Biomedical Engineer who likes to cook and bake. I cook, prepare, test, and taste international recipes, and if I really like them, I share them on my blog, Sweet Cannela. I live in Mexico City, which has an altitude of 7,350 ft above sea level, so I like to experiment with recipes for baking at high altitudes. I am interested in making healthier recipes, using good quality ingredients, and reducing the consumption of animal products.
