About me

Introduction	Living on my own made me discover that I can cook delicious dishes from scratch using my imagination and recollection of how good dishes tasted or should taste. Armed with one pot, my repertoire of dishes that I've mastered to date happen to be unaided by cookbooks, rigid step-by-step recipes, and exact measurements of ingredients. I created this blog to document my culinary journey that started from the cramped kitchen of my condo unit. Not everything I've cooked are my own original creations. When you're a beginner cook with scarce kitchen implements and poor access to many ingredients, then cooking naturally becomes a game of adaptation hopefully resulting in good reinventions. I do understand flavor profiles somehow so I often don't feel like following cookbooks to a tee. I simply cook and hope for the best. After all, a lot of dishes would be a step up from the sunny side-up egg which was like the only thing I used to cook.
