Chicken Soup.. Anyone?

Today I will not blog about fashion but I will blog about something which is much more important and essential for everybody than shoes or bags.. I’m gonna blog about F.O.O.D. My personal favorite pastime. I love to cook as much as I enjoy eating out. Asian dishes like simple stir fried Chinese style, Indian Curry, Thai Tomyam even the Malay “asam rebus” or Western food - Pastas, Pizzas, pancakes & waffles, you name them & I had cooked them!

Being able to cook to your family is priceless! Knowing that your family is eating good, fresh, healthy food is very rewarding. Anyway having freshly cooked meals at home is cheaper than eating outside. For me cooking is therapeutic & watching my family & friends polishing their plates really make my day! I am a simple woman. As I am a working mother, I always introduced myself as “Weekend Cook”. On weekends I will cook the full meals for my family sometimes I had planned ahead what to cook. Sometimes I just wake up in the morning and start rummaging my fridge trying to figure out what to do with ½ pounds of beef, 4 chicken wings, potatoes, carrot & celery. Chicken soup sounds good, how about stir fried beef with celery?? Excellent dishes accompanying my white rice, this will be my “Cooking without a recipe” day as Chef Michael Smith from Chef@Home Show always says. Hopefully nobody complaints!!

How about you? Do you cook your everyday meals or you are a weekend cook like me? What is your emergency recipe?
