I have set year 2010 to be my cooking year after having stopped cooking for more than 10 years.

A 39-year-old woman who has never liked and is not really good at cooking is going to make healthy Chinese home-cooked meals for hubby in year 2010?? Yes, I mean it.

I believe in TIMING. There is always a timing for doing certain thing. I think the timing for cooking healthy meals at home has come.

Since I can only start cooking after we move into the rented flat at the end of December, I am now busy clipping Chinese meal recipes and reading food/cooking/recipe blogs online.

With only a steamer, a rice cooker and a slow cooker I have for the time being, the recipes I have been collecting and reading are those involved steamed, stewed and shimmered Chinese dishes. Incidentally, hubby prefers steamed, stewed and shimmered dishes to fried and grilled foods for better health.

I am also looking for more recipes on Chinese desserts and herbal soups that work to strengthen the immune system and improve overall health being.

What I want to do in year 2010 is simple – healthy Chinese home-cooked meals, with simple ingredients, using simple cooking methods and cooking utensils. ;-)

Year 2010 is going to be a challenging year for me – a 39-year-old woman who hasn’t touched cooking for more than 10 years!

There is no reason for me not to cook once moving into the 3-room rented flat with hubby the end of December. There is a kitchen in the flat!

If you think there must be a kitchen in every house, well, you are wrong. The wooden house I am living in has no kitchen. There used to be a kitchen when hubby was small, but it’s now without water pipes, sinks and plugs.

Since we moved into this house two years ago, hubby has had no intention to install water pipes, sinks, plugs and kitchen cabinets at all. The reason is simple – the house is not owned by him; it’s his brothers’!

Year 2009 has been a year filled with building various niche blogs covering topics like gifts, credit card debts, debt management programs, cellulites, weight loss programs and many others. While busy building and promoting the various niche blogs, it did come across to me if I should set up a cooking/food blog. But, the idea was quickly brushed off when I thought of my so-called kitchen in the wooden house.

Now that hubby and I are moving to the flat that comes with a basic kitchen, I feel that it’s time to cook at home for hubby’s health being. Due to long school hours and hectic school workload, he really needs to consume more nutritional foods and healthy Chinese home-cooked meals.

Year 2010 is a good timing for starting a new hobby or passion – cooking! Are you going to start a new hobby or pursue your passion in year 2010?
