About Jean Silk

I love cooking and cooking brings me joys. Being a former restaurateur, as a food consultant, recipes developer/taster and cooking instructor for more than 14 years, cooking is one of the best ways to express my feelings towards people through good food. Food has no boundary, it connects us all from different backgrounds and cultures.

Having growing up in the diverse ethic cultural background and many relatives spread across Asia, I learn authentic cooking mostly through family members and people closely meet in my life. I was growing up in my late grandparent’s house who was a food vendor. Grandparent’s home commercial kitchen was my early learning playground. By the age of 10, I had started to cook for my families, catered for friends’ birthday parties and other special occasions. Most of my family members are a great cook. Few of them are food producers, restauranteur and hotel chef. It all has had a great influence in my cooking career. Besides that, the diverse ethic cultural also be able me to speak nearly 7 dialects and languages.

No matter how much I achieve in food, my passion for cooking is to pass on cooking skills and Asian recipes, especially authentic homely recipes which are easy to follow, to everyone who love cooking. I love to use fresh and easily accessible ingredients and cook mouthwatering food. My principle of cooking is simple – encourage people to cook simple, healthy and experience real Asian food cultures.

Almost every year I travel and visit relatives and friends in Asia, it brings back my childhood memories. It is also an opportunity to update my cooking skills in the real local environments.   

I feel so lucky and many thanks to my lovely husband and friends who have provided tremendous supports and encouragements throughout my journey.
