It's been a long while ... a very long while since I updated this blog. So many things have happened in between since I last penned that last post. For one thing D is now 3 going on 4, a child with pretty much a mind of his own.
In the first two years D was a good eater, ate almost everything that was sat before him and yes even spicy singaporean food. However as he got older he has become more and more fussy though he still does like his curries! Last year he had a bad case of eczema which lasted for months! The creams which the doctors prescribed didn't help very much. So I started reading up on eczema and the more I read up about the subject convinced me that to keep his eczema under control we had to have a change in his diet. It seems that eczema can be triggered off by gluten, sugar and diary ... all the stuff which D loves. Changing D's diet wasn't going to be a problem the challenge would be getting him to eat it.
I didn't want to deprive D of all the stuff he loves but there must be ways to make them healthier. So I started researching into healthier alternatives for gluten/wheat, sugar and diary and in the process I've discovered a whole new insight to cooking and baking. Being a trained chemist I relish the prospect and challenge of using unconventional ingredients in traditional recipes. It has certainly made my life and that of my family's very interesting. So hence I've decided to revive this blog so that I can document and share some of my crazy cooking adventures ... who would have thought a former laboratory rat now turned into a kitchen rat! :)
