I have some very exciting news to share! I am now contributing recipes to Yahoo! Philippines! One of my resolutions last year, which continues to be something I want to pursue this year, is to share
more recipes for simple home-cooked meals that, hopefully, inspire people who
have never really cooked before to take those first tentative (yet ever so
important) steps into the kitchen.

If you’ve been to this little corner of mine before, then
you know that I am all about, more or less, simple food and the role it plays
in our lives. Food is one of our most
basic needs yet, even at its simplest form, can be something akin to
divine. A thick swipe of real butter on
your favorite bread, lightly sprinkled with sea salt. A jiggling piece of pork belly, cooked long
and slow, with lots of love and patience, in a flavor-packed liquid. That perfect cup of coffee on a quiet morning
before anyone is up. Struggling with the
weight of your biggest baking dish filled with aromatic roast chicken pieces,
juices bubbling and eager family and friends waiting at the table. That’s real life…and food is smack-dab in the
middle of it.

That’s not to say I don’t like to get fancy too. I do as much as the next girl. Good gin, foie gras, sushi, high heels. That also has its place in my real
life…although admittedly and most certainly not “smack-dab” at its center. While I do enjoy all that (who doesn’t?)
you are more likely to find me in front of my stove, pots a-simmer and battered
wooden spoon at the ready (shirt deplorably stained, again — why do I never use an apron??), taking one too many sneaky tastes of whatever is cooking, than in a swanky new restaurant with a crisp white
linen cloth on my lap and the wine list in my hand.

Anyway, I am rambling again, but I’m crossing my fingers
that you are still listening. I have
plans and, if you’d like to see more of my kitchen, along with more of your
own, I hope you are all game for the ride.
This blog is still my main space where I share my recipes, and their
role in my life, to the universe at large.
But I’ll be looking for other spaces and places and ways too…and I’d
love to “see” you there as well.

A tasty stir-fry! So scrumptious looking.

That's look good! And congratulations on your new assignment! 🙂 Your writing and talent in the kitchen do deserve a wider audience. I definitely will keep coming back to this place because I do enjoy reading your stories
Joey – I don't wear aprons either. And good gin for me is Hendrick's – on the rocks with a cucumber peel twist 🙂
Thanks Rosa! 🙂
Hi Faye! Thanks!! You are too sweet! 🙂
Hi Ling! I am a Bombay girl but Hendrick's is definitely on my agenda! Aprons are too hot for me…maybe if I lived someplace cooler 🙂
Those mushrooms look muy delicioso! I've recently learned how using fresh mushrooms make so much difference 🙂
Congratulations!
Good on you for getting your recipes featured on Yahoo, Joey! 😉
One word: YUMMY!
Congrats on the assignment!
Congrats on being a contributor to Yahoo! How awesome is that? I love this Asian Style Pork Stir Fry! Perfect for any day of the week. Thanks for sharing, Joey!
Hi Didi! Thanks! Yes, using fresh mushrooms make a big difference! 🙂
Thanks Midge! 🙂
Hi Jen! Thanks! 🙂
Hi Betty Ann! Thanks so much! This is such an easy dish to throw together, even on a busy week night 🙂
I never wear an apron either… Congrats on your new gig!
Delicious-looking! Congrats on your new venture!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. Actually, I made this yesterday and this dish is really easy and quick to cook. The taste of this is also fabulous! I will definitely make this again when I have time. Anyway, please keep on sharing!
