N Kitchen Memoirs

Mother's cooking is the best. There is always something special when you go home. It's not just the taste of excellence, but also the taste of nostalgia. As we grow up, we try to recreate those experiences in our own homes. But of course, something is different. Either we follow recipes that differ slightly from our moms, or we add or subtract ingredients, or even processes, from how our moms used to make the dish.

And not only our mom's dishes, but do you remember big family gatherings where relatives would just cook up a storm? Yes, those dishes are so rare, since some of those dishes were only presented during big family gatherings... and big family gatherings were always at the mercy of availability, or family politics.

This channel attempts to document some of my family's favorite dishes... mostly Shanghainese or Cantonese cuisine... and also some family favorite comfort food that may or may not fall under any categories, as our family expands further into future generations.
