How homecook interest started...

"Where shall we go for dinner?"
"Anywhere, you suggest..., I'm fine."
"Ok.Shall we go to xxxxx for dinner?"
"Again?"
"Then you suggest."
"Hmmm... don't know. Don't ask me..."
"Kk... then we go to xxxxxx for dinner?"
"I tot we just went there last week?"


*The cycle happens on and on and on and on... every week.

That's how the homecook journey began. =)

I am not a professional and 5 stars chef like Sam Leong from Humble House, but humble enough to share what I learnt from the after work home cooking.

The main idea is to cook after work within 1 hour, have simple and nice homecook food. Anything more than 1 hour of cooking is a no no.

Currently I am learning to cook a quick meal from a cook book bought from Taipei. It is a cook book with 400 recipes to cook a quick meal using rice cooker.
I will not publish all of it here but I will share my personal experience in cooking the quick meal.

The main principle of the cooking here is less oil (I can say, almost zero) and no frying. We eat to live and not live to eat. It is our responsibilities to take good care of our body and what we eat will make us to be what we are today.
