I Could Cook Like Them Too

I love to watch the celebrity chefs’ shows on astro and imagine myself whipping up great dishes effortlessly like them too. Finding myself renting a room in a condominium together with some students and having an ill-equipped kitchen does not really encourage my cooking talents to bloom.

At home mother reigns supreme in her kitchen and the only tasks she felt worthy to pass over to me were washing dishes and cleaning vegetables. I told her I was not learning anything just standing there watching. Occasionally she would passed over the wok chan to me and let me stir the food a bit but that too she was too eager to snatch out from my hands. I guess she must be feeling agitated and powerless in a kitchen without her wok chan


Back to the celebrity chefs, I noticed that the cooking shows nowadays were so different from the past. They did not give recipes anymore. You want it, get it from their blogs.

My favourite celebrity chefs on astro are:

Jamie Oliver, the naked chef

Jamie never washed his vegetables and meat. He took the food out from the grocery bags, out from their wrappers and start chopping and peeling away. Eewww ... we can't do it here. we will probably have ka liu ingredient in our dishes; grubs and caterpillars and night soil, etc.

and

Nigella Lawson - the domestic goddes

she was such a hot gorgeous looking mum before she begun her recipe repertoire in the TV series Nigella Express. In the 13-part series, seen on BBC2, Miss Lawson cooks up rocky road marshmallow crunch bars, doughnut French bread, buttermilk chicken drumsticks, fried lamb chops and caramel covered croissants.

anyway, fat or no fat, she is still my favourite chef. the conclusion of the story is .... i want my own kitchen. hahaha .... hope this message get across the board.
