All-In-One-Place Recipes
I admit that when it comes to writing down recipes I’m that person who scribbles it down on the nearest piece of paper. I have sticky notes on the refrigerator and half-written recipe cards shoved into what’s supposed to be a recipe binder. And the next time I want to use the recipe again, I’m… Read More All-In-One-Place Recipes
Pork and Shrimp Egg Rolls
When it comes to gift-giving over the holidays, many of us think of chocolates, gingerbread men, fruit cakes, and hard candy. But why not give a savory rather than a sweet? As a sign of love and appreciation, my mother always made egg rolls for friends and family. This year I’ve decided to do the… Read More Pork and Shrimp Egg Rolls
Chicken Pho with Pork Meatballs
With the cold setting in, and the temperatures dropping to the low double-digits (and soon the one-digits), my husband requested Pho. This popular rice noodle soup, with its aromatic broth, is mostly associated with Vietnamese cuisine, but it can be found at any street food stall in South-East Asia. The name pho is thought to… Read More Chicken Pho with Pork Meatballs
Fish and Chips
One advice I give myself is to not watch cooking shows at night, and yet I do. This causes me to crave that particular food I’m watching.

Onigirazu (Cabinet Cookery)
Onigirazu is a rice ball that one does not need to roll in their hands, or touch the filling, as it is wrapped in seaweed wrap. The end result is a sandwich-like onigiri, or rice ball. The making of this is very recent, having first appeared in 1990 in the manga “Cooking Papa”. Like many… Read More Onigirazu (Cabinet Cookery)
Potato Stew from the Early 20th Century
Brrr it’s getting cold out! Which means this is the perfect time to make a soup or stew. Last winter, when I decided to start my video-making journey, I filmed a how-to-cook-potato-stew video. And I had forgotten all about it! Thankfully I had the footages saved onto my laptop. Why not share it now?! For… Read More Potato Stew from the Early 20th Century
Cabinet Cookery: Shin Noodle Stir Fry
It may surprise you to know that when I’m cooking, I don’t use precise measurements. For the most part, I just throw things together and serve–something I learned from my parents (My husband cooks this way too). Hubby and I call this method “Cabinet Cookery.” It’s just 1. Reach into the spice cabinets and fridge,… Read More Cabinet Cookery: Shin Noodle Stir Fry
Victorian Kedgeree
This dish of rice, fish, and curry is believed to have been brought from India to the United Kingdom during the reign of Queen Victoria. Kedgeree, as it’s called, was developed during the British Raj in India. This period in which the British Crown ruled the Indian subcontinent would last from 1858 to 1947. Today,… Read More Victorian Kedgeree
