The kindle that started the idea of Moderate Posh is probably very far from what you might expect. When my oldest son, Ben, started boarding school, I wanted to set up his room with all the essentials he may need and organized in a way that was purposeful and aesthetically nice. Of course, I had to make it extra as well. I joined Dorm Room Mamas on Facebook and hung on every piece of advice. I combed through Pinterest pages. But all the advice and decor was geared more toward girl rooms. So I decided to start my own Pinterest board to help other boy moms.
The Pinterest board for dorm rooms led me to think, I should have one for recipes too. I love to cook and cooking for others has always been my love language. My best friend Alice has always called me an artist because she thinks cooking is an art. I always thought of cooking more like science- the combination of ingredients is chemistry and the timing is math and physics. Get glasses Alice! I’m a Scientist!
I have a recipe binder that is probably 500 pages deep. Each grease or chocolate splattered page is written on with dates and my notes on what worked and what didn’t; what ingredients I added and which ones I omitted. There were epic failures in which I still kept the recipe page but marked “Do not make this again”. There are pages marked with 5 stars and names of which friend, family member, son or party that declared a recipe to be bussin’ as Ben would say. I guess that means bomb diggity?
So here I am with Moderate Posh, because a Pinterest page simply isn’t enough for everything I want to share with the world. As Chinese-American, I’m excited to also share the recipes I grew up with. There will be traditional Chinese recipes, fusion and all kinds of cuisines with an Asian twist. As a (self-proclaimed) scientist, I’m excited to also share the kitchen tools I use that keep my lab (kitchen) running smooth and efficient.
