The story behind this food blog
Lemon in Ginger is my alter ego, it is where I exist beyond family and friends – for myself. The voice here is mine, and I share a slice of my life with you.
My mother is an excellent, award-winning cook, and some love for cooking may have rubbed off on me growing up. Here I share mostly made or baked from scratch recipes, using local ingredients and recipes that I have learned from my mother, and I wish to chronicle them.
My dad was a great traveler, and he has passed his passion for exploring to all 3 of us (my sisters and I). We learned to see beyond tourist attractions in a place, to enjoy the culture and local life of any place and that is what I bring to you with my Travel Photo Journal.
This space also represents what I enjoy eating at various restaurants and shares with you the best this city has to offer through the reviews.
I also explore and practice my photography using raw ingredients, fruits, vegetables, and anything worth clicking, and present them to you in a Photo Series. I am continuously learning photography and evolving with each click – I also share my photography gear, behind-the-scenes, and some tutorials with you in my Food Photography posts.
