I'm Janice, nice to meet you! I love food. When I’m not making food, I think about what to make next. Outside of this blog, I’m a blog writer and a translator between English and Chinese. Growing up in Hong Kong, I was lucky to be surrounded by lots and lots of amazing authentic Chinese food and other Asian food. I would love to share everything I know about cooking Asian food with you, here on Daily Teaspoon :) I share easy recipes and everyday meal ideas. I like to cook from scratch as much as possible and I don’t use fancy gadgets like an air fryer, slow cooker, or KitchenAid, so you can also try the recipes at home. I also share short articles on health and diet as I find answers to questions I have about topics that you may be interested too.
