How do I answer your question? I don't consider myself a
wonderful cook. I can't make stuff like tau suan, mee siam, lontong
or bak kut teh, even though I enjoy eating those dishes. I have
many default recipes that have come from years of
I-don't-know-what-to-cook moments. Many of these recipes are fusion
dishes, a little bit of this, that and the other. If you ask me
what's for dinner, I'll tell you I won't know until after I'm done.
I have found kinship in a certain kitchen forum and I prowl the
internet for easy recipes. I also have cookbooks up the wa-zoo
(they tend to breed in my house. ) On the
forum, I have many friends who share easy recipes, can ask
questions about what went wrong, etc. I've learnt quite a bit from
my fellow cooks in training.
