Starting Point

Finally, I decided to start a cooking blog after almost 2 years of trying out recipes, most of them from food blogs, some family recipes, and some experimental recipes. I'm setting 2 goals for this blog:

1. To post recipes (and hopefully some pictures too),

2. To make a Chinese-English glossary of Chinese ingredients. Ingredients like hoisin sauce or oyster sauce are easy to get, but ingredients like dried tangerine peels or gingko nuts are hard to explain to store owners who can't even speak a word of English-- or me who can't speak Chinese well. With the list, I can just write down the characters and just show them. Hope it can also be a help to other people who have a hard time looking for Chinese ingredients. :)

Okay, wish me luck.
