The small pleasure of a sweet book and a simple lunch on a hot London day. For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday
The joy of small things, indeed
Cooking up a Korean feast soon
It’s been a while since I’ve cooked for friends. Even longer since I’ve cooked Korean. Usually it’s my husband who cooks for guests. But this time he asked if I could cook a few Korean dishes. I have planned my menu. Japchae (noodles). Bulgogi (marinated bbq beef and pork). Dakjjim (chicken stew). The thing about... Continue Reading →
Un-Pho-gettable soup
Oh my goodness. How good is Vietnamese noodle soup?! Love a hearty bowl of pho. Especially when the broth is delicious. It’s something we took for granted living in Sydney. There was a delicious place just up the street and around the corner from our home. The small space would be packed with people every... Continue Reading →
Some chillies to spice up dinner?

We celebrated Chuseok and ate Korean
It was Chuseok on the 1 October. The mid-autumn festival is also known as the moon festival in other parts of the world. My husband was working. But I managed to drag my son out for dinner at a Korean restaurant. For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday
I miss delicious dumplings from home
I am starting to miss great asian food in London. Food we took for granted at home. Six Word Saturday

I've been cooking more for the family since we moved to London from Sydney. We signed ourselves up to a weekly meal kit that arrives with all the ingredients. Once a week a box full of fresh vegetables, spices and meats arrive at our door step. All I need to do is follow the cooking... Continue Reading →
5 things I am looking forward to when this is over
By the time this is published, we would have been locked down for almost a week. The British Prime Minister has banned all non-essential travel. Most businesses and places where people congregate are now closed. We are allowed out only for one period of exercise and to buy food or medicine. But regular trips to... Continue Reading →
Power and gore at the Tower of London
If the ravens leave the tower, the Kingdom will fall. It was the Lunar New Year. Somewhere on the other side of the world small envelopes of money were prepared for the kids. Dumplings were steamed and bone broth made the night before ready for the rice cakes to be included on the day. The... Continue Reading →
An afternoon walk around London
Our family walked around London last weekend. There was no particular reason for the walk. Just a desire to explore this massive, ancient city. It is difficult to believe this incredible place has now become our stomping ground for a while. A simple train ride takes us into the heart of a vibrant, modern city... Continue Reading →
