They are proving themselves that they not only can eat well as good Singaporeans do, but write about good food on the blog and make it also.<br /><br />I remember when I got married and came to Singapore, Appa used to say that girls ( some of them who are Uppatis ) say "I Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049501712439911731.post-82770146849628400872010-12-01T20:55:05.673-05:002010-12-01T20:55:05.673-05:00Proud of you, Truffle!

An old school friend of mine sent me "The Naked Chef" as a wedding gift and I still refer to that to this day. The most important thing I learned from Jamie is to be flexible. If there is no sage, but you have thyme, just throw it in! No chili flakes, but you have chili sauce, just use that instead.

It was the best turkey I've ever tasted. And thank you so much for your recipes. I love the sound of the duck with red cabbage - it even sounds quite Christmassy!<br /><br />Hey Foodie Doctor!

My best tip for crispy skin comes from the Two Fat Ladies (which is surprisingly fat-free)- once you've cleaned out the chicken, pour boiling water over the skin- you'll see it shrivel up a little. Works a charm!<br />I have a great recipe fromFoodie Doctornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049501712439911731.post-79888204644847083262010-11-30T16:45:15.655-05:002010-11-30T16:45:15.655-05:00The most delicious turkey or chicken I know of is ...The most delicious turkey or chicken I know of is smoked over wood chips on the grill. Can be tricky to pull off wood chips or a grill in England though, so I agree with you and Jamie--herbs and a lemon in the cavity. If you roast your chicken in a covered casserole pot, you can fill the bottom of the pot with rice, lentils, vegetables and water.
