Eating at Bolaven really inspired me to return to my 'roots' of South East Asian cooking. It may seem funny coming from a Caucasian New Zealander but my first experiences of really enjoying cooking and eating where in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. A significant portion of my childhood was spent living in Malaysia and traveling to its surrounding countries and this is where I really grew my foodie nature. In the coming months I will be introducing more Internationally (mostly Asian) inspired dishes that are healthy and dietary requirement friendly. Along this note, I am also excited to announce big changes are coming to Quite Simply Batty. Keep an eye and an ear out!
On Saturday some of my friends threw a creatively and beautiful executed historically themed high tea. The tea was delicious and all the small details, down to silverware and bunting were a real treat. I also got to dress up, which was a good laugh, so overall it was a brilliant afternoon. I also managed to be the object of amusement to several customers at the local dairy (corner-store) as I ran in to get camera batteries while dressed in a complete Jane Austen themed get-up.
Today was mostly restful and reflective however I managed to squeeze in some quality time with my brother. I had fun helping him assemble some outfits for the spring season and we had an explore of Cornwall Park which is currently bursting with spring colour and baby farm animals, a total must see at this time of year.
So I'm wondering... what were your favourite flavours and foods growing up? In what way have they shaped your tastes now?
