My passion for cooking can trace back to when I was a child. My grandma is a great cook and so are all my aunts. I was raised in a family in which great emphasis was placed on home-cooking and delicious food. As a kid, I followed my grandma around the kitchen. Every so often, my grandma would made different types of sophisticated chinese dishes and chinese dim sum. I would beg her to teach me and "help" her out by making a few. Those were my earliest experiences working in the kitchen.
After I moved to the states, I took on the home-cook position at my dad’s house as I had to cook for my little step-sisters and my step-mom. And once again when I was in college cooking for my roommates. I always knew that I can cook and I enjoy working in the kitchen. However, I did not get overly passionated about it until maybe half way through my career as an auditor. Working under the long hours and stress of an auditor, I started cooking again as a way to release stress. I have been able to try making different dishes and even starting baking. The more I cook the more I am enthusiastic about it. I found myself spending more and more time researching for recipies , taking down notes as I cook, and even spending more time shopping at grocery stores.
By starting this blog, I hope I can share my recipies with those who also have a passion for cooking. This blog will also record the interesting dinning experiences in restaurants I tried. I hope my creations and experiences would also inspire others, who thinks like me, the pleasures of the table are infinite.
