About this Cook
I love cooking and I think always have loved cooking since I first started when I was 8 years old. I experiment a lot in the kitchen with different spices and cuisines and I almost never follow recipes or measure amounts making most of my cooking my own original recipes.
My favorite things to cook
I don't really have a favorite although I am really good at cooking chinese food.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Most of the traditional foods was passed on by my grandmother and I learnt by watching her and later my mom. The best traditional cooking would have to be at Christmas time when the whole family would get together to make Christmas sweets.
My cooking triumphs
Since I started cooking from such an early age, I've had a few triumphs over the years which would include cooking for parties and family get togethers.
My cooking tragedies
Oh so many when I first started like over cooking and under cooking rice, adding too much of one spice and less of another, too much salt, too little salt.....there was always something every single day for the first year I started cooking.

Chinese Steamed Buns
These were truly delicious and I never dreamed I could ever make these to taste so authentic. I filled the buns with a left over curried spam we had the previous night for dinner and they were so good!

Very Best Blueberry Cobbler!
Wow! I definitely out-did myself when I made this one last night. I made a few changes as follows: 1)I used a mixture of blackberries and raspberries, 2)I added vanilla and cinnamon to the batter as well as to the berries, 3) I didn't have any lemon juice so I used lemon essence instead, 4)I reduced the amount of sugar. My husband absolutely loved this one and now we have decided to make this one of our family recipes. If I had to decribe this in one word, it would be YUMMMMMMMMMMM!

Honey Roasted Red Potatoes
I have just signed on for All Recipes and this was the very first recipe I chose to try out. I am glad that I did because it was soooo yummy! I didnt have any honey so I used a honey mustard sauce instead and even my husband who was skeptical about using honey loved it! This is a winner!
