How was this blog born?

  • For My Culinary History: I love cooking as much as eating. I cook almost every day and take pictures of everything I create in my small kitchen. There are so many food blogs with complicated recipes, -often too difficult and intimidating with all complicated steps and explanations- but there aren’t many for ordinary people like me to try for every day meals. Cooking should be something anyone can do and enjoy doing, and shouldn’t require so much ingredients and steps to follow. I have the advantage of not being afraid of breaking culinary rules and trying new things. I often get an explosion of interesting recipe ideas that are so amazingly simple and delicious, yet require so little effort and time…and money. So I’ll try to share them all with you.
  • For English Learners: What I am trying to achieve here is to create the environment in which people from non-English speaking backgrounds can expose themselves to English culture and absorb the language while looking at and reading about yummy things. My easy English descriptions of photos and stories will help them pick up useful words and phrases more quickly and efficiently.
  • For Cultural Awareness: I would like my site to be a place where people from different cultures can share stories, ideas and of course, food. There are so many interesting things out there that we would simply miss because of the language barrier. I hope people can discover new things every time they visit my blog.
