lemons & oranges

this blog is about food, drinks, and everything in between. i have an abundance of recipe books at home but i tend not to follow recipes because it's usually very hard to find the ingredients i want and need. so the books are there just for reference sake, and also as a good source of inspiration. i'm an impulsive chef. i usually just raid my fridge and cupboards to see what i can find and make something out of it. over time, this became a hobby of experimental cooking and so far, 99% of the stuff i've tried turned out great. but, since i do impromptu stuff, most recipes ends up being a one time only thing. so after getting very happy on margaritas one night, i've decided to finally record down some of the recent successful recipes i've tried. this blog also serves to help out my guy friends who have to suddenly acquire culinary skills to impress their new love interest. the recipes i post here will vary in difficulty. so if there's a recipe you'd like to try but seriously can't get past words like mince, finely choped, boil, simmer and differentiate between pan-fried, stir-fried and deep-fried, just ask. i'll try my best to guide you through the treacherous world of cuisine as i know it... enjoy!
