Recipe Books

Monday, January 11th, 2010

I just arranged our book shelf and I found out that I already have quite a lot of recipe books at hand. I never got the chance to try out most of the dishes in my recipe books.

Baking With My Li’l Girl

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

My li’l girl loves to help me bake. I, on the other hand loves to bake but  is worried of finishing all the baked goods as I have a sweet tooth. So, as much as I can, I try to avoid baking cookies and cakes except on special occassions or when we have to give [...]

Cooking and the Internet

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

I’ve been cooking quite a lot these days and I’m just so proud of this ‘achievement’. Everyday, I would be searching for new recipes or trying out dishes that I’ve never cooked before. Actually, I would have to thank for the world wide web for such feat.

My ‘Cooking History’

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I confess, I’ve never been a good cook and cooking hasn’t been my favorite thing to do ever since I was young. You see, I’m the youngest in our family and we grew up with someone to cook for us. My Mom had a full time job and we had a house helper to do [...]
