To Asia with Love

Rebecca Ferguson - 10/21/2025

Welcome - I am so glad you’re here .

After hours in the kitchen experimenting and styling, I love capturing visual stories about what and how we eat. Every dish has a mood, a memory, and a bit of magic - and that’s what I try to share here through my lens ( yes, just my iPhone !)

This month’s theme, “To Asia with Love ,” is especially close to my heart. I spent years traveling through Asia while working in the Fashion industry, and those experiences shaped how I see everything - from light and color to flavor and detail. Between fittings and factory visits, I found myself falling in love with the hum of the street markets, the simplicity of a steaming bowl of noodles, the precision and grace behind every meal.

Now from my own kitchen, I try to recreate those memories - not perfectly , but personally. It’s less about perfection and more about presence: slowing down, cooking with intention , and finding the beauty in everyday food.

So, come in, have a look around and join me on this month’s journey - to Asia with love,

Two bowls of congee ….

Congee — or jook, as it’s known in many Asian homes — is one of those dishes that feels like a hug in a bowl. Every culture has its comfort food, and this is mine.

I recently made two versions: one that came together effortlessly, almost by accident, and another that took hours — simmered, stirred, and coaxed into creaminess. Both were delicious, but what stayed with me wasn’t just the flavor. It was the feeling.

The quick version reminded me how beautiful simplicity can be — how, with just a few ingredients and a little intention, something ordinary becomes nourishing. The slow one reminded me of patience — of what it means to stand by the stove, letting time and texture do their quiet work.

In both, I found a lesson: it’s less about perfection and more about presence.

Cooking, for me, isn’t about replicating a recipe exactly. It’s about showing up — to the process, the ingredients, and even the moments that don’t go as planned. Whether a dish takes five minutes or five hours, what matters is that it connects us — to memory, to comfort, and to each other.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
