After I got married in October until end of last year, I didn’t spent much time in the kitchen. If I did, it would be together with my hubby  and we would whip up some easy food together. One of my new year’s resolution is to drop the lazy act and make some real food instead of the usual easy food (which is not always so exciting) or the dining out/delivery routine.

I have always liked watching cooking demonstrations on food channels (I remember ‘Wok with Yan’, a series which was aired around lunch time when I was in high school. I would always rush home to watch it. But since I didn’t have acess to a private kitchen, I never practised any of the recipes that I have seen (nope, cooking in my mom’s kitchen is not so exciting because my mom would always come up with a lot of suggestions here and there which would totally spoil the whole fun and the whole point of experimenting).

Luckily, ever since I had access to a private kitchen, cooking has grown more and more as a hobby for me. I started collecting recipes since a long time ago, and now it’s time to try them one by one! Plus, with this new blog, I would be forced to try something new at least once a week, so I have something to update here.

I was originally going to name this blog ‘The (Culinary) Adventure of a Nomad’s wife’. The reason being, is that in October 2008, I married my partner of 3.5 years, who is working for a humanitarian organization with a high travelling or relocation demand. Hence, the term ‘Nomad’. But then I thought, if I am married to a Nomad, and I intend to follow him around, that would make me a Nomad too. So why be wordy?
