Ingredients and Tools



Pictures above show the tools and ingredients i mostly use when I cook.
I have 3 knifes as shown above : From top paring knife, normal chef knife and a santoku knife.Noted the different between the chef knife and santoku is the tip of the blade. Santoku knife is actually modified from a chef knife by the Japanese to adapt to their cooking styles. Santoku blade design allow a more accurate and acute cutting especially fish.
Second picture : Top left to right - White wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar and red wine vinegar.
Bottom left to right - chives, oregano, basil, rosemary, parlsey, thyme, dill and black pepper.I bought dried herbs for easier storage and it can last longer. Dried herbs flavor is so inferior to fresh one so last week i bought a pot of fresh basil and parsley to grow by myself. Hope they will grow well at my backyard.
