I stumbled upon her blog not too long ago. Her talent in cooking and food photography catches my attention. The more I read, the more hungry I became. Sefa, the owner of Food is Love  has done a very good job on her blog.   The recipes that she shares Her are authentic Indonesian cooking. I have not tried a lot of Indonesian food. Only when I visited Bali. Through Food is Love, I am getting to learn so many... 

  It’s delicious and takes about 25-30 minutes to make – Risotto Alla Bisi y Pancetta – Pea & Pancetta Risotto. Risotto is a rich and creamy, traditional Italian rice dish. It is one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy. So many theories out there as to how to make the best risotto.

Today, Gertrude,... 

  Weather has turned slightly cold. Can’t believe that it’s already autumn. Days are getting shorter, doesn’t make me feel better. It’s getting dark at about 7pm nowadays and I dare not imagine the coming winter days when the night approaches at about 3.30pm So depressing *sigh* I am not ready for this!   Every time this year, I tend to feel that anything soupy is always a good idea. One-pot... 

  I love my Le Creuset Cocotte. It was my last year’s Christmas present! Such an important piece in the kitchen. I have used it to make soup, curry, briyani rice, congee and many more.   Just a few days ago, I used it to cook fish Chinese Congee. This cast iron piece is so suitable in cooking congee as it retains the heat longer than any other pots. To make the best congee, allows slow cooking time of a least...
