The Chinese believe a well balanced diet is its own medicine, and so do I - except when I'm eating catering quantities of chocolate. A generally healthy diet helps me compensate for some of those indescretions, I think. It's also more enjoyable and gives me more personal satisfaction than lots of junk and white sliced pan.

But I'm neither Julia Child nor Darina Allen, so I like to keep it simple and quick if I can. The recipes I've included here are all designed to be fairly fast to make, not at all fiddly, and delicious. Where I've included nutritional information I've used the Recipe Calculator by Mark Muller to generate the details. Happy eating!
