About Me

My photo
Many things (both good and less good) have happened in my life lately, so in November 2013 I decided to take a break from the "Corporate world" to sort out my life situation. One of many things that I decided to do was to learn more about cooking, because food has always been a passion of mine. From my native Vietnam to my home country Norway, my life journey has taken me to many beautiful countries such as Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Malaysia, where I truly got exposed to the food culture, which may reflect in my home-cooked dishes. With this site, I hope to inspire and encourage you to take a break (short, long, or very long - you decide) and do what you love doing but that you haven't set a date for. Just do it, make it happen :) Kort oppsummert: Norsk-Vietnameser i Paris pa jakt etter mening med livet...

Salad sprouter

Alfalfa sprouts ready to eat
My son likes "gardening", and since we live in a typical city apartment without a terrace or balcony, a salad sprouter is the perfect "gardening" solution. It's fun and it's healthy to eat too :)
The first thing my son asks when he wakes up in the morning: have my plants grown? And then he would run to check the sprouter :) This is a great project for toddlers. It teaches them the nurturing aspect of life :)

Day 1 2 tablespoons of alfalfa seeds soaked in a big glass of water or bowl overnight
Seeds soaked overnight

Day 2 Spread the seeds directly on the sprouter and water twice a day (lunch and evening). I use a wet baby clothes in addition, just to compare with the salad sprouter
