Recipes diary.

After leaving this blog for a while, I have decided to make it like a recipes diary for my cooking practice.

After trail and error, I have come up with some outline of how I want to plan my own cooking lesson so I can become good at it.

My purpose is to be able to fix up a dish or two in no time, using the skills that I have to create a dish without having to look up in a recipe book.

But in order to do that, I have to master the basic skills and develop some ingredients knowledge.

So this place is going to be the place where I collect the recipes that I want to make (as a guideline to make my own variation)


For now I want to know:
(Focus on Asian taste)

( Start from water to dry cooking)

Simple slow cooking (stew and crock pot)for busy night

Simple stir fry and steam fry ( recipes and sauces to make)

Namprik, salads and vegetable dips (Favorite salad dressings)

Oven Roast and simmer (using oven)

Soups with rice and noodles ( no cream or milk product)

For snack ( Snacks and appetizers can come in many forms, stick to what you want to know for now)

How to bake bread ( all kinds )

How to make cake

Simple steamed dim sum (many kinds)

How to make ice cream

Simple desserts ( fruit and sweet roots with coconut syrup) Thai desserts

Many more to explore : See, now I have many tools to help me with cooking such as food processor ( mix dough, too), steamer, Ice-cream maker, waffle maker, blender, and a toaster.


So, look for recipes that I like to make and list them in here for the next meal planning will be much easier and more fun!

After mastering some basic, every meal planning, then you can move up to cooking for entertaining and practice plate presentation by watching videos and stuff on cooking site such as
