On this public holiday, our kitchen turned into a stage for a simple yet splendid family lunch.
A festive spread that's all about the warmth of family and the joy of sharing. Homemade with love, this Chinese New Year's feast brings us together in the most delicious way.
The meal was a mosaic of Ashley's favourites, a gathering of tastes and aromas that have shaped her palate over the years.
Celebrating a milestone with a taste of opulence, we marked Audrey's 19th birthday with a sumptuous twist on a family favourite.
Amidst the camaraderie of our Liverpool potluck, the table was an inviting spread of global flavours.
There is a unique satisfaction in creating a lavish spread from the humble contents of one's own freezer. The beauty of a luxurious Sunday dinner does not always call for the backdrop of a high-end restaurant. You can do it in the comfort of your own home too.
A long weekend calls for a special dinner, even when I am not feeling my best. So, with a touch of culinary simplicity and a dash of family warmth, I 'cooked' up a reminder of sunnier days in Spain.
I love cooking with a claypot. The claypot does not just cook the food, it binds the ingredients together and envelopes each of them in a blanket of warmth that results in incredibly tender and flavourful bites as they share the heat.
Last Sunday morning was such a delight with Ashley's breakfast creation. Her mum baked our favourite brioche bread the night before. Come morning, she thickly sliced and toasted the soft and buttery bread to perfection. Gracefully paired with a subtly spiced Crème Anglaise and topped off with a sprinkle of fresh berries, it was simplicity and elegance on a plate. Kudos to Ashley for serving up such a comforting breakfast treat and starting our Sundays just right.
Weekend dinners are more than just meals, they are a testament to the joy of cooking for loved ones.
Last Sunday, Ashley and I turned into a culinary dream team. She was rolling out pappardelle like a pro, and I was stirring a pot of oxtail ragu that could make an Italian Mama weep with joy.
With Joo Heng out of the picture for now, I decided to roll up my sleeves and recreate this magic in my own kitchen.
