I come from a family that lives to eat, not eats to live! My father was a chef, my Mother is a talented cook and has also cooked professionaly and my older sister is a natural. I started cooking from the age of 12 and have loved it ever since. I get great pleasure from trying new recipes and learning new things in the kitchen. I love nothing more than cooking a gourmet meal for my family and watch them enjoy it. Food brings us all together. I have always believed that in my past life I must have been a baker or pastry chef. My favourite things to make are cakes, desserts, pastries, slices and biscuits. I also enjoy cooking main meals or gourmet dishes. My Mum is famous for her traditional Indonesian peanut sauce and satays. I have yet to master the sauce. Mars Bar cheescake, Lemon cream pie, Lemon chicken, Sweet potato lasagne with scallops and blue cheese sauce When I was young I tried to make a fried rice but I didn't know to cook the rice first. It was an extremely crunchy fried rice.
