I’m currently vacationing in the East Coast with my best friend and last night we made a scrumptious meal.

One of my new year’s resolutions is to try my hands at 10 Vietnamese recipes. I’m of Vietnamese descent and am almost too embarrassed to admit that the only Vietnamese dishes I’ve made were just my piggyback riding on my mom’s cooking. The mental roadblock that has kept me from just diving in, is that [...]

I was flipping through a wonderful cookbook I won at TECHmunch from Jaden Hair from SteamyKitchen.com. Her book, The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook is very engaging! I usually get bored with cookbooks as most of them do not have enough pictures. Jaden, who called herself a very visual person during her talk at TECHmunch, has proved [...]
