Tuesday- Roasted Black Pepper Chicken with Plum Sauce {Edited}

It has become a routine of ours to spent some time in the library once in every week or two. Husband would always browse items from management, career-related and photography sections while Adam browse his on kiddy sections. Sometimes he likes to 'arrange' the book too..bersepah-sepah..In order to avoid that, one of us would pick few books, find a place, sit and read to him- and that's would give some ample time for each of us to browse whatever we like on the shelves. 
As for me, most of my borrowed items, so far, are from the cooking books shelves.  I'm a sucker for pretty cookbooks, especially if it has appetizing pictures with minimal clear instruction...To me, a good cookbook MUST have pictures for every recipe written inside, unless it's a renowned old cookbook like Julia Child's.  A step by step pictures are bonus, but not necessary.


I borrowed Gordon Ramsay's and Martha Stewart's Pies and Tarts this week, and today menu was inspired from Ramsay's roasted duck with plum sauce. I've bookmarked another 4 recipes and can't wait to try it! 
Anyway, happy Mother's day to all mom out there.. I bought this lilies for myself..he he..no gift from si dia tu.. ;p okay pe celebrate sorang2x.. ;p

  3. Assalamualaikum...

    To be honest i am not a good cook at all. So every time i wanted to buy a cook book i will always get the book with pictures so in the end i do know how the food should look like.

    Kalau belek2 buku dan gambar tak ada untuk setiap satu mesti turn off terus nak beli... Anyway, gambar kat atas tu buat buat org mengidam terus. huhu..
