what for dinner - brandenbears 




cooking with 'Easy Recipe' from Christine Ho,  one of the best cookbook, food blog about cantonese, (hong kong) style cooking and much more. Her recipes are all tested by her and many of her fans.

Her cookbook came out around mid June 2012 in hong kong and already on it 7th printing... 
I have order this book for myself and waited for almost 45 days to get this book on hand. 
now my daughter already want one for her (she is just 7 1/2 years old)...

anyway, while she was flipping this cookbook, one by one, she asked if i can cook this and that for her. 
so i decided to try to cook through this lovely cookbook...well that's mean we will have quite some chinese foods for a while...

so for a harmony.... i have discovered another excellent cookbook....Bernard Loiseau : Cuisine en famille,  one of the greatest chef in france, unfortunately he has left us for some reason, but his love of cooking last.......

so we will be eating 2 extremely chinese cooking and french cuisine.... 

so i will try to cook toward these 2 books

! remember!

 we all 3 are supposed on diet, or at least to say to lose some weight or shouldn't gain anymore !
as i am used to cook with less/no oil in the last 2 years, 
and actually the recipes in this 2 cookbooks are healthy or lighter version, so i hope we can manage to eat delightful, healthy and enhance our cooking experience.
