How I did it: I bought an easy-bake stove-top oven (also called a flanera) for our house. It took a few months, but I also accumulated a lot of baking basics in the house: baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder (thanks Kate!), multi-purpose flour, vanilla extract, ground spices and whole spices. Some of these purchases required a trip to the capital and then a special trip to the fancy market where these sorts of things are sold.

Then, I had to learn the basics of baking with comes down to (I think) mix wet and dry ingredients separate before you mix them together. Bake, and don't be afraid to subsitute or compost away if necessary!

Lessons & tips: Take your time as budget allows, but one by one buy up the basics.
