The Weight of Our Ancestors
We believe that every family has a story to tell, buried in the pages of old journals and the whispers of the past. Our genealogy research is not just about tracing bloodlines; it's about honoring the burdens and treasures that have shaped our collective identity.
By preserving these stories, we ensure that the 'Mother Load' of our heritage is never lost. We invite you to join us in this journey of discovery, where every lesson learned is a step toward a more authentic and connected future.
The Mother Load Cookbook
All my favourite recipes in one book!
I am of Chinese descent, so many of the dishes that taste most like home to me begin there: soups, rice, stir-fries, chilli oil, pork, prawns, congee and simple Chinese-style comfort food.
But I am not a food snob. I love good food from anywhere in the world, provided it is honest, generous and worth making again.
I am not a professional chef, baker or nutritionist. I am a real home cook. I prefer cooking to baking, I love one-pot meals, and I believe in one-bowl baking wherever possible. I rarely follow recipes perfectly, including my own. I adjust, taste, swap and make do. This book is for you if you cook like this too!
Good cooking does not need to be fussy. It needs to be useful, comforting, colourful and worth eating again.
