My passion to food started way, way back when my mother expose me to cooking as part of household chores.

I can definitely say I have harness those love of cooking as I decided to took up Nutrition or anything that was related to food.

But then, Mama took the liberty of choosing my course. I was too reactive.  Just to reserve her gusto, I finished my course with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science as my thoughts were expressed in this post – Gratitude to my Mother.

My passion to food did not stop.  I make it a hobby.  Still experimenting different dishes, cakes and desserts by self-learning like research and lot of reading  thru cook books/magazines, cut those food clippings and compiled them.  Most of the TV shows I watched are related to cooking also.

I even use those desserts as a home made gifts to friends, relatives and clients which made them their longing request when we have those meet-ups.
