NoobCook’s 2009 Picks, Happy 2010!
Woah time flies! Another year has whizzed past by. This time last year, I wrote: “2008 is a year where I did some serious cooking and actively posted my culinary adventures on this blog. I hope to keep it up in 2009” Yes, looking back, I’m proud to say that I did keep up my momentum for the whole year! I enjoyed the process of cooking as much I love to eat, and cooking has become some form of therapy for me.
Now and then, I hear people complaining that they don’t know what to cook and they find cooking a chore. For me, it’s the reverse. The more I cook, the more I enjoy it, and the more recipes and new ingredients I come across, the more restless I am to try out everything – it’s a case of “so many things to try, so little time” for me! I hope I still find the passion and time in 2010 to cook all kinds of food and improve my skills. For those of you who read my blog, thank you very much! I am humbled that anyone will read a food blog by a noob cook :halo:
Scattered on this page is a round up of my personal fave recipes I featured in 2009.
Have a Happy New Year’s Eve and a Delicious 2010!

Happy New Year greetings from my hamster Mario :)

Hi,

Happy New Year to you too! Although after over a year of cooking as seriously as you do I don’t think you really qualify as a noob anymore. ;) Looking forward to another year!
I think I’m still a noob cook that has became slightly more competent than I had started out, lol :D
Love your hammie picture! Adorable! Happy New Year 2010!

Your blog is my favourite and is such an inspiration to me! I have tried out a few of your recipes and they all turned out great :-) Thank you for sharing your talent as a cook (and all the yummy photos too). Happy 2010!
Thanks sweetie! Hope to see more updates on your blog on your creations (knitting and food) in 2010 :)
Amazing photos and recipes! I really enjoy reading every single post of your blog. You make cooking looks much easier, esp for someone who can’t cook, like me. :) In fact, I have tried some of your recipes already and they were good. Thanks for sharing and look forward to more delicious recipes from you. Happy 2010! :)
You can bake which to me, is a lot harder than cook! I have a lot to learn from you in the baking department. Look forward to your CNY bakes. Happy 2010! :-)
Happy new year! Looking forward to more delicious posts from you in 2010!
Hey, I feel the same too. Love cooking so much!
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Happy 2010, my friend! I hope the year brings you abundance in every area of your life. Your photos are stunning, and I especially love the strawberries and the eggs (great post too!). Methinks you need to drop the noob from cook ;)
Happy New Year to you too!
What a cute hamster!
Happy New Year to you, your family and Mario! :)
Happy New Year to you!! This past year your photography has continued to blossom, and you truly have reached a professional level! It’s been enjoyable to read and look through your recipes, and you’ve opened my eyes to see the variety of things there are to cook. (Yes, I’m one of those who says, “I don’t know what to make! I hate cooking!” :| )
I can’t even pick a favorite recipe that you’ve made……they all look so pretty. :XO: But if I had to pick, I suppose it’s probably the ones with the cute punchi details, like the tasty milkshakes. :wink:
Looking forward to see what you cook up this coming year.
haha but those lines are for referring to those who cooked frequently hehe :-)
hopefully, I will have more punchi photo layouts in 2010. At least I know one person will like them, lol ;)
In my eyes, you are the real, one-and-only pro hehe :up:
Yeah! Your steam chicken rice is on the list!! one of my favourites! :) Keep it up! Shall see more of your cookings in this year ar~~…;)
You had a great year of cooking! Happy 2010 to you!
