Growing up, my parents have always cooked okra (aka ladies finger) so I have grown very familiar with this vegetable and various ways of cooking it. However, I do realise that a lot of people have never ever cooked with okra nor have they tasted them. If you have never cooked with okra before, perhaps this simple dish will encourage you to try something new. Okra is really not that scary… it is very commonly used in Asian dishes and has a very unique texture. It is a little… slimy. Please do not let that put you off!! Okra when … Continue reading Stirfried Okra with Garlic, Mushrooms & Anchovies

Lately, my kitchen started smelling good again… mostly because I’ve been stuck at home all week due to my son’s Hand, Foot and Mouth disease which makes him very contagious to other kids, which meant no playdates, no going out and spreading germs unless we really had to, no seeing friends during the week (because most friends who are free during the week have kids), etc etc… The first few days were okay, I enjoyed spending time with him and making sure he is happy. Poor little boy doesn’t get sick and sad very often, so it made me happy … Continue reading Chicken Green Curry inspired by Jamie Oliver
