About Me

I love to cook and more importantly, I like to improve the way I cook certain dishes. As such, this blog is borne out of a desire for a simple and organized way to manage the different variations of the dish that I tried. I will be posting recipes, pictures and comments on what works for me and what don’t. Hopefully, you will enjoy your time here, and do remember to give your feedback! Cooking is a constant evolution, a process and definitely not an end result!

Tips and Comments:
  • Roast the chicken inner part first, after approx 20 minutes, then turn the chicken over. This is to prevent the skin from tearing apart when you are flipping it.
  • If the chicken skin is roasted to near golden brown, but the chicken meat is still uncooked, you can microwave it. This will prevent the skin from burning and yet, cook the chicken meat to tender.
  • You can keep the bones after savouring the chicken. The bones can be used for a yummy chicken stock for soup!
