Japanese Tableware

No, I do not own any of the above. There are from one of the Japanese tableware books I have in my home library. I have a small collection of tableware I love very much. I do use them on special occasions and daily. Some I bought during my travel and during visits to flea markets. I like the idea of serving food on lovely plates and bowls - I love my guests to enjoy admiring the tableware during meal times. I admit that I only cook for guests I love dearly, hope they would enjoy the moment at the table. I like to use plain white plates and bowls to highlight simple food that I have arranged and decorated for visual enjoyment. I enjoyed dining moments at Singapore Takashimaya Royal Copenhagen Cafe. Royal Copenhagen Cafe serves guests with their exquisite tableware, hope I can afford to collect their blue and white collection one day.

Recalling Cooked Dishes Recipes

agnes — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 04:51:20 +0000

I have memory problem, recalling recipes I made up in my head and cooked before. Most of the dishes I attempted are from my imagination combined with recipes, blogs I read. I find it difficult to follow exact way as I do not have the same equipment nor weather condition nor ingredients nor personal taste. I made up one small part of the recipe and the rest from the what I can recall from reading or seen it done or tasted.
