Cooking For Three

Some people see cooking as an art and others see it as science.  Yes, it is an art because flavours can elicit varied feelings, memories and insights.  It is a science because it involves measurement, gadgets, logic and other things quantifiable. 

My passion is cooking and it is magic to me -- reason why until now, my quest for gastronomical experiences never stopped.  My herbs and spices are the ingredients to my potions, brews and witchy delights.  Some people encouraged me to enroll in a culinary school to enhance my skills and knowledge.  I'm glad that I did not, else, I will be boxed in to the confines of culinary rules and regulations.  I am a witch in the kitchen, I don't follow recipes to the T.  Hmmm... now that would make me a Mad Scientist actually.. Oh well... 

My curiosity is drives me to create new tastes -- which is probably why I have a weird taste buds (or maybe I was born with it).  And I never cooked for one, just the idea of it makes me rather lonely.  Which leads me to my title "Cooking For Three".  It might have been the influence of my subconscious since we usually eat three meals a day and of course, food is always meant to be shared.

The secret to palatable dishes?  Cook it with love!  No matter how expensive the ingredients are or how scarce they may be, season it with love and you will see the difference... taste it too!

A good example would be the metamorphosis of this instant noodles....


A cheap and convenient way to satisfy a grumbling stomach.  Add a bit of greens and some veggies... Season with LOVE....


Served for three :)
