What I find the most amazing about cooking is that the minute I turn the cooker on or pick a wooden spoon or a whisk I’m actually entering a time-and-place traveling machine.
Cooking is a journey, it can take me to a time past or a place I visited or dreamed of.
Fried rice. Now, that’s such an easy dish to prepare. Got leftover rice and vegetables in your crisper or freezer, give it a try and you won't be sorry.

Close your eyes and imagine you’re sitting in a Chinese restaurant.
I can already hear some restaurant waiters shouting “Upstair , upstair!!” Some of you Londoners will know what I’m talking about ;-) …
Top it with chili oil and you’re so there.
