It is always gratifying to hear that my readers enjoy the articles on Red Cook. My writing is inspired by the desire to demystify Chinese cooking techniques that are so very misunderstood in America and the West. I hope my writing and teaching can change this. Also thank you for bringing "iEat iShoot iPost" to my attention. I very much enjoy Dr. Tay's perspective of Singapore hawker food culture. I do miss it very much!

I found your blog when I looked up information for "Chinese food in America" for one of my homework assignments. Your in-depth analysis and writing style make this blog a very satisfying read. I am also from Singapore, studying at a local university. You may want to check out a popular Singaporean food blog called: http://ieatishootipost.sg/ by Dr. Leslie Tay. He reviews a lot of hawker food back home and the origins of Singapore dishes. Anyway, please keep blogging, your perspective is unique and refreshing! Hi Mr Kho!

Until I started cooking, I couldn't have told you a single thing about Irish food, except for corned beef and cabbage. And one of the first things I learned was that corned beef is entirely an American thing. Go figure.Sometimes I wish I had a more cosmipolitan heritage so I could justify to myself the amount of effort it will take to learn multiple cuisines. Oh well, at least I can do it vicariously through blogs like yours.Drew http://blog.CookLikeYourGrandmother.com My food roots couldn’t be much further from yours — Italian, Irish, German, but all several generations Americanized — but I know what you mean about discovering your roots through food.
