We attended a friend's baby's full month celebration last month and the home-cooked Pig Trotters Vinegar prepared by our friend's Mom left us wanting for more. Pig Trotters Vinegar is a popular confinement food that can be laborious to prepare. With an iconic cookware like Le Creuset, it's just a matter of time that we pair it with local iconic dishes. At the hubby's encouragement, I decided to put the Le Creuset and my rookie culinary skill to the test to cook the legendary … [Read more...]
Going Local with Le Creuset: ChickPea Chicken Curry
In the multiracial society we live in, curry is the ONE unifying dish that is enjoyed by all races represented in Singapore. It is also of the most requested dish at my extended family's gathering. I grew up eating my beloved Grandma's Chicken Curry. That's why back home, we've been trying to train our daughter Dana's taste buds to start enjoying spicy food, using curry as a start. Instead of sugar, we've been encouraging her to dip her fav prata into the curry … [Read more...]
1872 Clipper Earl Grey Tea-infused Snowskin Mooncake Recipe
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is a muted one for my family because my late Grandma would not be around to celebrate it with us. I decided to do something special with my daughter Dana and brought her to attend a hands-on Mooncake making workshop at the invitation of 1872 Clipper Tea Co. We spent an enriching afternoon learning how to make tea-infused Snowskin Mooncake, which incidentally is one of my favourite type of mooncakes. Subtle yet traditional enough to perpetuate the … [Read more...]
Going Local with Le Creuset: Savory Crab Mee Hoon Soup
This year's Teachers' Day was on 4 September 2015 (Friday). To reward the hubby for his hardwork, I decided to cook him a dish which we love but rarely indulge in - Crab Bee Hoon. Ever since we started using the Le Creuset Dutch Ovens, I have gained much confidence in trying out new dishes and this Crab Bee Hoon was one of those recipes which had seemed impossible before. The Le Creuset pots allow me to control the cooking temperature and they seal-in the essence and freshness of the … [Read more...]
{Giveaway} Le Creuset – Easy Spinach, Salmon and Broccoli Risotto
Ever since Buddy started sprouting teeth at eight months old, his staple diet consists of milk, baby cereals with banana or avocado for lunch and porridge for dinner. Recently, he's been showing interest in the food we are eating which made me realise it's high time to revamp his menu. A girl friend recommended I cook risotto for Buddy. Risotto is nursery food in its purest form. When cooked well, it is warm, soft and melts in the mouth, making it … [Read more...]

Le Creuset (pronounced as 'luh-croo-say', meaning "the cauldron") is a French cookware manufacturer best known for its colorfully-enameled cast-iron cookware "French Casserole Ovens", also known as "Dutch Ovens". Whenever I shop at local departmental stores like Tangs or Robinsons, I would inadvertently walk by a shelf or two of these visually stunning Le Creuset cookware whom those friends of mine who own them would wax lyrical about. Imagine our ecstasy when we … [Read more...]
Bake and Bond with Betty Crocker
Betty Crocker Premix - the ideal baking companion for all busy Moms! I picked up baking few years ago when David bought me a coveted Kitchenaid mixer as a surprise Valentine's Day gift. I find baking fulfilling because I love how I can bless my friends, family and colleagues with my bakes and see their eyes lit up. However, since the arrival of AJ, I struggled with finding time to rest, let alone bake. The hassle of the preparation from scratch and the washing up proved too … [Read more...]

Where there is Barilla, there is Home
In our household, pasta is our favourite staple...Yup, we love it more than rice. More often than not, we end up eating Italian more than Chinese when we feel like a good treat. So when the good folks at Barilla sent us a media invite for an exclusive master chef cooking class with Italian Chef Luca, I said yes immediately. Not many people know that I feel somewhat ashamed that as a wife and Mom, my pasta cooking is mediocre at best. I mean, what's so difficult in cooking pasta right? … [Read more...]
The 30 Minute Cookin Revolution
In a time-strapped, food-loving society like Singapore, we have a plethora of F&B establishments dotting every inch of our island. With so many options (and new ones sprouting like mushrooms daily), it's not uncommon to find families dining out, simply because whipping up a home cooked meal is too tedious and time-consuming, especially after a long working day. Nothing wrong with that, except that eating out often can be heavy on the pockets (with a simple meal easily setting … [Read more...]
