Dear Mr. Know-It-All,
We’re having my boyfriend’s parents over for dinner sometime but I’m no Nigella (the only thing I’ve ever made in the kitchen is cereal, coffee and love). I’d really like to impress them. What should I do?—Wannabe Domestic Goddess
Dear WDG,
Fret not, cooking really is as easy as one, two, three. After all, if Mr. KIA can do it, so can you. If you’re feeling ambitious, sign yourself up for a cooking class at Shermay’s Cooking School (#01-76 Chip Bee Gardens, Blk. 43 Jln. Merah Saga, 6479-8442, www.shermay.com). They offer demoonly classes which are perfect for novices such as you. If you’re more of a hands-on kind of girl, head to ToTT (#01- 01A, 896 Dunearn Rd., 6219-7077, www.tottstore.com), where you can choose from a range of cuisines such as Peranakan, Italian, Thai, Korean and even Spanish. ToTT is also one of the largest retail stores for cooking and hosting needs; they even have a cook book section. Good luck!
