The one complaint you will often hear from a home cook is having to think of what to cook. It is not easy to come up with a dish that would satisfy everyone who sits at the table. It is even more difficult when you have to come up with menus every day x 3…
Just because its fried, it does not deserve to be labelled under the ‘bad for health’ category. Believe it or not a lot of children (who are under weight) are advised by the nutritionist to have fried food included in their diet. The key is actually not in avoiding this food or that but in…
Here is one version of my tomato soup. Honestly, I leave it up to you to decide which one is better. As for me, I am very indecisive and would opt for any of the two depending on the availability of the ingredients at hand. Both are topped with home-made croutons and butter. Two ingredients…
2020 for me is the beginning of a healthy new lifestyle. I’ve prolonged it long enough and now is definitely time for the healthy stuff. Healthy, but not necessarily boring!! Healthy and exciting like this dish made of micro greens. What actually are micro greens? Micro greens are tiny shoots of vegetables picked just after the…
Bright, summery and so easy to put together, I bring to you my favourite of all time, the Greek Salad! Every bite into this bowl is crunchy and refreshing at the same time.

Warming and nutritious homemade soup is fundamental to any home cook. Having a large pot simmering away is like being ever ready to present a warm meal to anyone who walks in the door hungry. With a little twist of adding coconut milk to the pumpkin soup, I present to you a brightly coloured…
Homemade meatball is a complete new level of palatability, quite unlike the frozen ones in the supermarket. This delicious and wholesome, Italian-American dish is ideal for any dining table. The sauce for this dish is also homemade and very basic but fail proof. This same sauce, I use for other pasta and pizza base. You…
One of Thailand’s extremely popular street food dish is the Phad see-ew or flat rice noodles wok-fried with a black soy seasoning, Chinese kale, scrambled eggs and marinated chicken or pork.
