Growing up in a typical Chinese family, I was told not to step into the kitchen as a child. Instead, I ought to spend more time studying and finishing up my homework. When I finally went to college, I had to finally learn to fend for myself. I remembered my mom telling my roommate to keep an eye out on me because I didn't even know how to boil water. I guess she was worried I would burn down my dorm.
While I was in college, I got hooked on Food Network TV shows. I think this is when that network is starting to get really popular with stars like Rachel Ray and Tyler Florence. When I am not in school, studying or shopping, I would be watching shows on the Food Network. That is when I developed my passion for food and cooking.
So, please, join me as I try my hands on blogging about my culinary adventures and meals that I am learning to prepare. I hope this page can be a platform for us to get together to share our ideas and love for food, or simply it can just be a virtual hangout spot for us to get in touch with one another. But, I want to thank you for reading thus far and giving me an opportunity to talk about something that I feel so strongly about. Also, feel free to drop a note when you get a chance! :)
Disclaimer: I never went to any culinary schools, although I would really like to or had any form of training. I taught myself to cook by researching and watching plenty of how-to videos. I am by no means an expert on food but merely someone who loves to eat and is a cook to a wonderful and always grateful man.
Love,
Yvonne
