…make lemonade?

Dale Carnegie- the motivational author of the book “How to Win Friends and Influence People” first coined the phrase ‘When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade.’ Since then, there have been many different spins (recipes) on the ‘Make Lemonade’ part (such as ‘Get a Bottle of Tequila and Some Salt’) and it was the perfect title for this food blog!

I’m Annabel-Zoe, a complete food lover and am using this blog to finally share all my food experiences! A person close to me once described me as having an obese person inside; a slightly outlandish expression for my infatuation with food, but nevertheless it is true!... I love smelling, tasting, observing, cooking and mostly talking about food!

Reminiscing about my childhood, it is clear my passion for food started early. Since learning to use chopsticks from the age of one and a half, I was always very adventurous in trying any dish placed in front of me and was most eager to try the strangest looking one! Having parents from Hong Kong and Malaysia has meant I was always exposed to Chinese and Malay home cooking as well as British food, all fuelling my interest in cooking!

It is cliché, but food is the ‘fuel of life’ and with inspiration from other food blogs (The Bitten Word and A Slice of Cherry Pie) I will share my every encounter with food, from recipes to cooking experiences to restaurants and everything delicious!
