Happy Holiday Cooking!

Cooking...
I'm cooking for my holiday party! Would you like to join me?

On the menu...
Here is what I'd like to serve for the party.
Garden Salad with Blueberries, Blue Cheese and Walnuts;
Pasta with Spinach, Pine Nuts and Olives;
Mango-Lobster Spring Rolls;
Sweet Eight-Treasure Rice Pudding;
Green Tea Mango and Yogurt Smoothies.

Shrimp...
Hope you can smell the shrimp's wonderful aroma.

More!
Along with the other dishes!

Ship's kitchen...
The problem is that the cruise line wouldn't let me take this kitchen home with me. So I don't have room for a big holiday party.

Graduates...
The other problem is that the graduates of my cooking class did all the cooking, and they have gone off to start their new careers. Now I have no one to boss around.

Serving guests...
Red alert, captain! We don't have enough samples!

Quick!
The quick eaters were the first to ask questions.

Slow...
Afterwards, more questions. These are the slow eaters.

Chefs...
But I didn't cook the samples either! It was done by these wonderful chefs.

Chefs...
Of course I don't cook in my silk jacket. I was just there for the photo and to check in with them.

Healthy talk...
But wait, I did give some lectures on healthy eating...it was much needed considering all the food we were eating.

My books...
My books were on display in the library for the entire cruise.

Booksigning...
Sigh! I do have to sign my own books. No one on the ship wanted to do that for me.

Sesame Tofu
But wait, here's more food!
A beautiful Sesame Tofu on a bed of garden salad. Yum!

Sauteed Shrimp
And my favorite, Sauteed Shrimp with Black Sesame and Green tea!

Cooking show
So how did these dishes come about? Oh, they were for my cooking shows!

Preparing...
First, they spent a good time preparing me.

Not the bamboo!
Then the producer, Alan gave orders
"Cook everything but the bamboo, okay?"

And prepare
The phrase "personal space", or lack thereof, was going through my mind. Can I start cooking please?

Still prepare...
I don't get dressed like this every day. Most days I do it myself.

Food Stylists
The truth is out -- I didn't actually cook any dishes for my twenty episode cooking show. These hardworking food stylists did it in Nestle's test kitchen, following my recipes of course.

TV Crew
It took all these people to cook up the dishes and the show. Oh dear, we ate all the food!
I hope you all have a happy holiday season!

"No no! Cut the tomato not the board!"

Seasoning
Perhaps we should add a bit more seasoning, yes?

Eggroll Wrappers
Hands are one's best tool.

He just finished cutting up his first mango the correct way. We¿re all so proud.

Ship's Nurse
The ship¿s nurse is watching everything attentively just in case something happens. Actually, she was just there to lear

Flipping the Rice Pudding
The final moment: the epic flipping over of the Eight-Treasure Rice Pudding from the bowl to the plate.

Eight Treasure Rice Pudding
He scores a ten!

Can't Wait!
Hurry up with the picture so we can eat our pudding!

Lobster Spring Rolls
