Hi there! I am Lorraine, and I think about food pretty much 24/7. It’s not a joke that my friends and family can testify to my obsession with food. From dreaming about what to make next to shopping for groceries to cooking food in the kitchen to plating food to taking photos of food and talking about food, it still mesmerizes many friends how much I can go on and on about the topic of food.

I absolutely love cooking with any ingredients you throw at me! It really makes my brain go WILD! If you ever see me just staring into space (which is usually the case because of my inability to focus on sitting down tasks), 99% of the time, I’ll be thinking about a dish to create (with random ingredients in the fridge, for example). My husband calls me out a lot on this (for fun), but hey, doesn’t he get to reap the benefits from this too?

I grew up watching my mom and dad cook in the kitchen since I was 8 years old so I have lots of fond memories of them making my favorite Asian foods. At one point, Mom realized how much “food sense” I had when learning from her that one day, she decided to make me cook every meal with the ingredients she buys from the grocery store. That’s how I grew more in love with the beauty of cooking as I get to experiment with the versatility of ingredients.

For the past decade and more, I have created hundreds and hundreds of dishes. The photo album on my phone can be my witness. This little corner of mine is where you will find some of my recipes inspired by people and places (including restaurants) I love most.

My passion has always been reaching my culinary dream of owning a restaurant or being a full-time blogger to write my own cookbook. Hope this serves a starting point for the near future! I can’t wait to share it all with you!

Let’s start cooking!

Lorraine
