My first introduction to the Indian culture and Indian people was when I read Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days.

Chicken Kecap Manis
A few days ago, I paid my regular visit to the book store to see the new circulations of literature books and cook books. As I was browsing the books in the cooking sector, my eye caught a very familiar word ‘Balthazar’. I am sure you all know Balthazar. For my friends from different religions,...

Coca-Cola Chicken Breasts
Sometimes I think my mom was years ahead in cooking. As I was browsing the internet I saw a recipe in Steamy Kitchen for cola glazed wings made by Virginia Willis and I remembered the first time we ate coca-cola glazed pork chops. Twenty years ago, when there was no internet and surely not so...
