My daughter is my inspiration to cook. I've always had this vision since she's been born is when she has friends over in future, I'll be bustling in the kitchen, making healthy meals and snacks for her and her friends. She now joins me in this journey of cooking though it may be far and few compared to when I first started dabbling in the kitchen.....
