A Matter Of Opinion

No recipe, just improvise

Moving house left me with a pool of books waiting to be sorted. It is definitely easier for me to cook whatever at hand rather than digging out a recipe hiding at some corner. After all, before the emergence of cookbook, cooks follow their senses. Why can’t you and me? It’s time to jazz up [...]
