Featured Chef: Michele Ow
Q: What is one of your favourite products that you like to use in the kitchen?
A: I probably use my chef’s knives more than any other tools in the kitchen. I don’t advocate any particular brand as long as they are sharpened regularly and properly.

Q: Christmas is right around the corner – what do you think would be the Ultimate Gift to give a friend who is a cooking enthusiast?
No matter how good a chef you are, it’s not good cooking for yourself; the joy is in cooking for others. Therefore I’ll choose a pasta maker – the best advantage of utilizing a pasta maker is that your pastas will at all times be fresh. This freshness will give them a sharper and more delicious taste. It is soft, chewy, supple, and the sauce simply clings to the pasta, coating it decadently and easily. In addition, you know what you add into your fresh pasta – including flavours like ground spices and herbs!
