Cooking With Egg Continued
Cooking - Dec 2014
Telur Pedas - Javanese Cooking  (Hot spicy boiled eggs with turmeric) 
A very simple curry - hot turmeric egg dish is one of the family favourites.

I take it for granted about the egg dish, as I often cook for my family and friends, it is a hot spicy dish, but very flavoursome, a pleasant change from cooking soft boiled egg served with toasted bread.

 I cooked and served the dish for my daughter Jane and her friends one day, and they loved it.  Only lately I learnt that her friend - Georgie has never eaten the egg to be prepared that way, it was a surprise for her.  In fact, she told me herself last month when she was visiting us.  Georgie said I never forget about the egg dish that you cooked for us, it was for the first time I ate yellow hot boiled egg she said with delight and enthusiasm.

The joy of cooking does not only bring people together but also shares and gives experience and taste of new flavours to others which will stay with them.  It is very pleasing to be remembered.
