The Many GIFTS my MUM left ME #4

COOK with LOVE:
If you have to cook,please cook with love, Mum exclaimed!
Mum never used any Cookbook. Its was amazing,astonishing as she had it all in her head.

I am intrigued with her as she spend hours in the kitchen just to prepare a decent meal.
Her ideology of being a Fabulous cook-" You have to cook with LOVE."
Preferring a simple ONE Dish meal-quick or eat OUT would receive mum's objection.
Often she gets compliments for her good food>her pride and pleasure

A handful of this and that ingredient;
A pinch of this and that seasoning;
A spoonful of this and that sauce;
and like MAGIC -Viola!
Yet her food turn out to be so great and palatable.

It often make one clueless and wonder how she remembered the recipes handed down from her
Grandmother.
She cooks Fusion food.Chinese (Cantonese,Hokkien ,Teochew,Hakka)Nonya,Indian,Malay
Lucky I kept some of her recipes in a Journal which I hope to share later.
To be cont.........
