About Me

My photo
Regina
California, United States
Cooking is one of my passions in life. While some might consider cooking 'slaving all day' in the kitchen, I absolutely LOVE spending hours in the kitchen! It's like my sanctuary...a place for me to wind down, relieve stress, and express my creativity. I was born in Indonesia and moved to the United States at the age of eleven. While I love traditional Indonesian dishes, living in California for the last 20+ years has allowed me to develop an affinity for cuisines from diverse cultural backgrounds. I hope to reflect this in my culinary creation and adaptation as well as to share recipes, techniques, and insights. Happy reading and bon appetit! DISCLAIMER: I cook by taste and would follow exact measurements mostly for baking recipes. For me, it's just more fun and exciting that way! With that said, most of the ingredients and seasonings on this blog are my best estimate of how much I used while making the dishes.
