I was a late starter with butternut squash and didn’t know much about it until few years ago. I saw them often at the supermarkets but had never picked one up and put in my shopping basket. I stayed curious for quite some time on its taste and texture until I finally tasted it. Butternut squash has yellow skin and orange fleshy pulp, which tastes similar to pumpkin. Butternut squash is one of the most popular... 

Sometimes, it amazes me how simple a dish could be. The ingredients do not have to be too complicated as long as they come in good quality. My last few visits to France, I have had a real nice country-style potage. In English, it is pottage. Potage or pottage means thick soup, which often contains meat and vegetable which are boiled with water and then whizz the soup with a blender or with a stick blender. The fresh... 

  This winter is probably the coldest. For the past weeks, the temperature in London was maintained at subzero! I remember last Saturday was really cold, that kind of biting cold that I had never experienced before! I longed for hearty food that could act like extra layers of skins to keep me warm and snug.   I like her approach in photography – clean, well-thought, warm, and nicely composed!

It was pretty unusual (for me) to see snow in October as it’s usually in either December or January. It got me thinking that the weather is changing.   Again, I really would appreciate something that can warm me up quickly and give me energy at the same time....

Don’t know why but I guess it’s nice. (Kristin, I’m sure you agree with me! Let’s build snowman this year in front of ermmmm.. not anywhere near the dump! *LOL*) I believe staying indoor is... 

As the weather is getting colder, I like to make something that is tasty and warms up my body. As a great fan of noodles, I never give a bowl of clear noodles soup a miss. This bowl of clear noodles soup brings back all my childhood memories. I remember helping my mom in the kitchen making the chicken stock and all the ingredients that go with the noodles.   Mom is always my primary source of inspiration. I do,...
