Welcome to Cook Simply
Hello, I am Ting. Cooking and food photography enthusiast.
My food blog philosophy is summed up in the name Cook Simply. Really delicious food can be made with relatively few ingredients and in little or no time – I promise.
About Ting
Food is in my blood. I grew up watching my parents cooking for other people in their Chinese takeaway and it fascinated me to see how they prepared the dishes. As I got older, as well as helping out in the kitchen, I learned more traditional British recipes – apple crumble, cakes, roast dinners – which my mum cooked at home, eventually making meals for the whole family.
Because for me, food is such a wonderful way to bring people together, whether it’s hosting Come Dine With Me style dinner parties with my friends or meals with family, including my two boys, who love Chinese recipes passed down by my mum. In my day job, I’m a writer, winning awards for my travel content on my other blog My Travel Monkey but cooking is my passion, the way I unwind. As well as being a connection to my heritage, there’s a huge sense of satisfaction in seeing people enjoy the food I’ve prepared. That’s what I hope to share in my food blog.
