Why I Love Being a Foodie-in-training

It's been a while since my last blog post. I've been so caught up with work that I haven't really been doing much writing on any of my blogs. Lately, I've been watching a lot of food-related videos. Recipes of meals that I'd like to try and cook in my meager little kitchen (I don't even have a microwave oven, let alone a real one! I know, right?).

From pasta recipes to Frittata, jambalaya to chicken cordon bleu... I've started down this fun yet very challenging path, armed with my zeal for fine dining and the desire for self-improvement. I'm hoping to grow as a foodie, hence, I am officially a foodie-in-training.

My friends have been very supportive, encouraging me from various parts of the world -- defying time zones and weather conditions. So far, my favourites have been pasta, chicken and potato recipes. These are the simplest to prepare and don't require an oven. However, I would really love to branch out into baking. Maybe someday when I decide to get serious about this craft and finally buy that oven.

Here are some of my favourites!
