actually MAKE all the recipes that I have collected over the years!

No excuses not to cook and no excuses not to blog! If one woman could completely cook the American “recipe bible” in one year, then I could definitely make a dent in my collection!

And no, I actually don’t have an excuse – just need some proper pots, but my two cheap aluminium (ya, ya, I know!) would have to do for time being. (I’m not willing to compromise on iCook pots, so I’ll rather do without than buy a full set of something else.)

That said, if someone out there would be willing to sponsor a La Crueset Casserole, I won’t refuse it!

Our nanny/cleaning lady/cook retired on Friday after being my “other mom” for 20 years. I now realise how spoilt we’ve been, as I now HAVE to do some serious cooking. Well, fortunately, I have collected some recipes, haven’t I…?

I love looking at food being prepared a la naked chef, or a la clothed chef, or a la any other good chef, and I collect recipes and recipe books, but I don’t really get to MAKE them myself! It’s high time I spend some real time in the kitchen!

The only problem is to find local substitutes for American and European ingredients… but I’ll get there!
