To be able to have a good supply of fish that we can cook for posting here, I see to it that I visit the Playground for some shore fishing action whenever I have time during weekends. You see, freshly caught fish are among the most wonderful ingredients

Surely I must have consumed more cholesterol-laden seafood in the two days we were in Kuching than for the whole of our 3 week holiday. Kuching is blessed with abundance of fresh and delicious seafood, and our guide S made sure we filled up on a lot of it

Kotopita is one of many types of pita , or Greek savory pies. After making the pork and beef galettes using leeks, I wanted to try leeks with chicken as well. I based this pie on the Chicken Pie I used to make in the past, only instead of

On poila boishakh , my hubby brought a giant Rohu fish whose head alone was of 1.8 kilos in weight. Although he relishes any preparation of fish headvery much but that day he has specially requested for these dish which my mother in law used to make al
