Because the holiday season is already so stressful, there are some things that you should never do in December. Getting married is one of them. This of course is from first hand experience when eight years ago, three days after Christmas, I said “I do.” When I got engaged my then fiancé said “pick a [...]

When I was a child, I dreamt of being adopted by an Italian family. I loved their accents, the way they sounded like they were shouting at everything when in fact they were carrying on a normal conversation, I loved how they always called me Bella and of course, their food. Fast forward to my [...]

One of the greatest food writers in the Philippines was a lady by the name of Doreen Fernandez. When I was in the Philippines I took for granted her contributions to our cuisine and so I rarely paid any attention to her works which was a pity since I have been crazy looking for some [...]

The other day, as I do every morning, I took my two labradors for a walk. Nothing out of the ordinary except I had overslept and had less time to walk them and get ready for work. I knew I had to rush. So we went to a park that was 10 minutes away and [...]

Hong Kong ranks up there among my favourite cities. I love it’s vibrance, diversity and the fact that I can indulge in two of my favourite hobbies when I’m there. Food and shopping. I love that the malls close at 10 pm and that they take their sales very seriously (nothing perks me up [...]

She’s my sister’s mother-in-law and twice a year we head over to Canberra for the long weekend where she generously welcomes our whole family for Christmas and Easter lunch. She cooks for over 20 or so people and I’ve never once seen her stress about it. [...]

It’s funny how some of the major decisions in our life are made on impulse. One weekend, over a month ago I was in the kitchen (where else?) when my husband walked in and mentioned that a house we had looked at four years ago was again for sale. “Which one?” I asked. “The one [...]
