Vivian believes that it is not difficult for a novice chef to become a master as long as he has passion for cooking and love for home, plus the audio-visual cookbook Dream Kitchen in My Home!
Start by sharing kitchen experiment records.
Vivian, the hostess of My Dream Kitchen, who has more than 250,000 Youtube subscribers, accumulated more than 42 million views and more than 400,000 Facebook fans, actually didn't find herself particularly interested in cooking at first, but just loved food, and she felt very happy every time she ate it. After graduating from college, I became a flight attendant and lived in Singapore. When I have the opportunity to cook with my roommates and share the results, I always get rave reviews, only to find that I seem to have this talent.
However, Vivian really started to "play with cooking" after becoming a * * *. In addition to tidying up housework every day, she also devoted herself to studying recipes and gradually accumulated her own experience and experience. So, without any basis for making movies, the channel "Dream Kitchen in My Home" was opened.
Vivian said, "At first, the idea was simple. Even if no one cares about the audio and video, it's just a record of his own kitchen experiment. It is also convenient for children to find videos and follow the steps, so that children will have a mother's taste in the future. Unexpectedly, fortunately, a group of netizens have always supported and encouraged me! 」
Vivian tries three or four different recipes every time she makes a new recipe, so it is often that a dish is cooked as a fixed team at home for a whole week, which makes the family want to vomit (laugh). In addition, before filming, I used the evening time, but it was inevitable that I could not accurately grasp the time and delayed dinner. So, as soon as the meal was put away, my husband and children quickly cleaned up the dishes on the table, which made Vivian, as a mother, feel a sense of accomplishment (but I wonder if she was really hungry? )
Proud of being a housewife.
Making movies is a very hard work, which not only consumes time, vision and physical strength, but also needs to learn new skills about shooting and post-production to improve the quality of movies. "Filming tired to want to give up! Vivian said honestly, so what motivates Vivian to keep shooting and making? Because Vivian believes that God has endowed everyone with different talents, which is also the most important task given to her by God, "I hope to pass on love and happiness to every family through audio-visual recipes," Vivian said. Vivian thinks that her main job is "housewife"-taking care of her husband and children properly is a great achievement. Vivian pointed out that if every family member is taken care of, especially the satisfaction at the dinner table, it will make her husband and children feel full of warmth and happiness, and they will be full of strength whether they are working or studying!
"The beauty of cooking will not only touch me, but also touch you! Yin, a housewife who loves cooking experiments, dreams that the kitchen is not only in my home, but also in yours! The food on the table unites the hearts of the family.
With the recipe of Dream Kitchen in My Home, Vivian hopes that she can not only enjoy these films with a relaxed and happy mood, but also save the time of failed attempts and make a series of delicious dishes quickly and successfully, which can be easily used by even novice kitchens with little experience.
Vivian believes that the dining table is a place to talk about love! But modern people are too busy. If we can have more time for the whole family to get together at the dinner table, talk about today's joys and sorrows, and share our time, that will be true happiness. Vivian said: "No matter how busy and tired, every dish will be beautifully cooked, because I like to hear my husband and children ask with expectation and admiration:" Wow! What do you eat today? Enjoy the praised cooking. 」
I hope to carry forward the taste of ancient Taiwan Province Province.
From 2065438+July 2003 to now, Vivian has uploaded nearly 300 videos, among which "Universal Steamed Bread Dough Sharing" has received the most response, with 6,543,800+8,000 views! And the second place, "Cooking thick soybean milk in rice cooker" also has 1.3 million views! Vivian believes that the accumulation of these super-high popularity should be related to netizens' desire to find back the traditional ancient flavor of China.
Vivian, who is particularly interested in the recipes that are about to be lost, said that because her husband's family is from Jinmen, she often has the opportunity to taste the "Golden Gate Hair Cake" that flew from Jinmen to Taiwan Province Province. However, this delicious traditional dessert can't be found in Taipei, so I asked my mother-in-law for advice and then worked out the exact proportion myself. After several experiments, I finally succeeded, and my relatives and friends are very happy to see that this delicious food can continue to be passed down!
Although Vivian's dress seems unconventional, deep down, he still thinks that as a China person, he should carry forward China's food culture. This is Vivian's expectation for herself, and it is also the reason why "My Dream Kitchen" has less western food.
Kitchen in childhood memory
Unlike traditional stereotypes, Vivian's father is good at cooking. When I was a child, I saw my father enthusiastically go to the central market to buy a bunch of good materials every weekend. As the father of a military translator, English is as easy to understand as Chinese, and he also watches foreign recipes to make western food. However, in order to bring lunch to children, Chinese food is still the majority.
What impressed Vivian was that her father's cookbook had only a few pages left from the first thick book. Only after asking did I know that my father tore up the bad parts after cooking, leaving only the delicious parts, so there were only a few pages left. When she grew up, Vivian recalled this situation and couldn't help wondering-is the recipe really badly written? Or does my father really not understand recipes? It also deepened her idea of using movies to interpret recipes.
Yin, a housewife who loves cooking experiments, dreams that the kitchen is not only in my home, but also in yours! Basic cookware for beginners to cook.
Different pots have different characteristics. Using a good pot can not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also make the dishes more delicious. What basic pots should a novice housewife start with? Vivian said with a smile, as a kitchen toy controller, every kind of pot feels good because it is fun!
1. Quick pot:
A quick cooker that is convenient and quick to cook is a good helper for novice housewives. Cooking with a quick cooker is delicious.
2. Cast iron pot:
You can choose thick cast iron pot and thick-bottomed composite gold stainless steel pot, which has excellent heat storage efficiency and good effect of slow stewing food. You can master the skills without boiling.
3. Cheap wok:
A pot suitable for quick frying. Even a cheap and nameless cooked wok in the vegetable market can fry a plate of delicious food.
4. Good quality non-stick pan:
If you want to make ohm eggs or muffins with smooth surfaces, a non-stick pan is an essential tool.
Fresh ingredients+simple dishes = natural and delicious!
Vivian, who likes cooking and tasting delicious food, usually not only cooks for her beloved family, but also studies and shoots recipes. On weekends and holidays, she tries to give herself some time to rest and recharge, try fresh food and eat different foods with her family. Vivian said, I used to be picky about cooking skills, but now I'm sensitive to the quality of ingredients. Maybe I'm old (laughs). As long as the ingredients are fresh and I can eat natural taste through simple cooking techniques, I am very satisfied.
Taiwan Province Province is a paradise for eating, and there are all kinds of delicious snacks hidden in the alleys. What are Vivian's favorite restaurants? Sashimi, crab and shrimp are all very delicious "aquatic products"; In addition to eating seafood, Jipin Seafood Restaurant, which likes Hong Kong-style tea, and Puroporo, a traditional Spanish seafood restaurant near Zhonglun Station, are all praised shops frequented by Vivian's family.
