This was one of my fondest and funnest memory of food, ever. It was a special 25 course meal at Gaggan in Bangkok, which is now revamped by the chef. Michelin star or not, I love that the first half of the meal requires no cutlery. Lick it up!
First of all, I am no chef and I’ve never received any training. I work full-time in tech industry and I live in a condo in Boston.
When it comes to eating and cooking, I also have some quirks…
I try to eat plant-based meals every other day
I try to be as much carbohydrate-free as possible
I’m a curious global eater, I want to explore flavors around the world
I have days on weekend when I cook all day, but most evenings I have little time to make dinner
I don’t have time to grocery shop more than twice a week (ideally once)
I don’t have a ton of patience, when I’m inspired to cook, I cook!
I am rarely excited by recipes that require too many ingredients
So here’s what I’m trying to solve with my recipe collage:
Overwhelmed by all these spices and ingredients? Don’t know which ones to invest in? Often ends up expiring? I try to cook recipes that use the same ingredients as much as possible. I also have a pantry guide page that I update from time to time!
Want to be healthier? I almost never use pre-packaged ingredients. I have a plant-based tag, you can easily find recipes as such. I deliberately cook recipes that doesn’t involve much carbs.
Often give up cooking the recipe after the 14th ingredient on the list? Me too! Most majority of these recipes require few ingredients, or I’ll specify which ones you can opt out.
