Call it natural instinct or pure laziness; we tend to treat our refrigerators as safety-havens for all things food and drinks. We buy them and we dump them — at least that’s what most of us are guilty of.

We know what moms love — a clean house, an organised cupboard, no dishes in the sink and — a delicious batch of oven-hot cookies to nibble with their evening cup of tea.
Lucky are the folks who can whip up some intricate patterns, flowers, objects and wishes for their mothers — all on top of a palm-sized cookie! As for the rest of us — we can drool, scroll and settle on Oreos while we look at these aw-worthy cookies, custom-made for Mother’s Day.

March 21, it’s Mother’s Day today. But to be fair, there can’t be enough days to celebrate the woman who carried you for 9 months. You may not admit this but she has been your best friend, your mentor and your guide — long before you were born.
So stop what you’re doing and start planning to tell her how much she means to you. And we say you start with food.

A seemingly simple yet one of the most frustratingly difficult culinary tasks is to fry a perfect egg. You might learn how to cook a perfectly succulent steak dinner but things get tricky when it comes to putting an egg on top.
Should you break it in the pan? Should you fry it in oil or butter? Should you flip? Touch? Poke? Aaagh! The whirlwind of doubts strikes you right when the egg turns brown in front of your eyes.
If this has happened to you, then welcome to Fried Eggs 101. If not, we bow to your culinary talents.

If we could look at hot, crunchy and golden-brown fried chicken all day, we would.
Take a poll around — chances are 90% people around you can be bribed by a crunchy piece of the bird. Now take a poll again — how many can cook a succulent fried chicken at home, not many, right?
Most of us keep our fried chicken love restricted to dine-outs and weekend brunches — because after all, nobody wants to mess up their fowl.
We’re taking a stand, though.

You know French food. You love French food. But admit it, the way it’s pronounced has often resulted in incoherent conversations between you and the serveur.
Now don’t get us wrong here. We’re not saying you need to go all nasal and emphasise on every syllable but hey, it would be nice NOT to butcher this poetic language.

Once upon a time, on a snowy winter night, a cool mum decided to treat her 6 kids with ice cream – for breakfast! Her then-outrageous treat was so tempting that the world now celebrates it as ‘’The Ice Cream for Breakfast Day.’’
Now, any sane person with a slight interest in nutrients would tell you that filling up your belly with sugar and dairy first thing in the morning is far from healthy, but one study claims otherwise.
