Tteokbokki is a popular Korean street food made from small-sized garaetteok (long, cylinder-shaped rice cake).

Four Chinese breakfast I saw in the show. Looks so tasty.

This simple sauce is perfect for pasta or rice! It is even better if you use your own tomatoes from your garden! Bon appetit!

Continuing with the Summer theme - here's my recipe for Potato Salad. It's a quick and easy dish to make and great for large numbers and BBQs.

This is full English breakfast, the kind you get when you come as a tourist. My favourite part is the toast with marmalade but the mighty plate was fun to draw.

茶餐廳 (cha chaan teng, "tea restaurants") are the Hong Kong equivalent of a quick and dirty greasy spoon diner experience, endearingly brusque service included. Their menus reflect the mesh of traditional Cantonese cooking with Western ingredients from the British colonial period which only ended in 1997. 

Elbow macaroni is usually tied to thick and creamy mac n' cheese in North America, whereas in Hong Kong diners it is more likely found in soups, topped with slightly browned Chinese spam and the perfectly fried egg. In the very same diner, you can order freshly baked sweet "pineapple buns" with a thick, cold slab of butter sandwiched in the middle. (How these places hide a running bakery behind a crowded active restaurant in the middle of the busiest narrow streets is always beyond me.) 

Oh, and don't ever miss out on trying Hong Kong style milk tea. Creamy, luscious, with a slightly deep-set savouriness, it coats your tongue with a warm, roasted aroma that brings a well-sought comfort in any weather. Even under 38C. But to be honest, I would probably opt for the iced version, which is a thrilling treat with the signature sweet and bitter taste.

Be a local: save one of the complimentary sit-down hot teas for soaking your utensils! Yes, we love to drink hot tea no matter what the temperature.

I LOVE PASTA.

Such a simple but delicious dish - I love pesto!

Play along

In the summer, I love to eat salads of all kinds. This pasta salad is really just a salad with pasta on it instead of a traditional mayo or vinaigrette-based pasta salad. Sometimes I make my own dressing and croutons, and sometimes they're store-bought. Anyway you toss it, this salad's a summertime specialty!

A simple creamy pesto that can be made with any herbs and nuts you have at home. The illustration resonates the creaminess of the dish and highlights the ingredients as the hero

I used to have a lot more cookery books than this set. These were kept as I refer and cook from them the most. Although its easy enough to look up recipes online there nothing like a tangle book you can flick through and write notes in the margins.

I was inspired to illustrate this after I saw Salli post a few of hers.
