comfort food

wonder | wander | women are not cooks by nature. Only learning to cook in our mid-thirties, when we had our own kitchens to putz around in or lord over. 

Growing up in our grand/mother's home, none of us learned to cook. When she was around, she did it all - quickly and distinctly her way. 

battered bible of basics

We love our food too much to not take an interest in it - even if we did not start out very hands on. We would collect cookbooks and pile them by our bedside to read through before bedtime.

The Silk Roads: blood and gold

"No man is an island." Globalism, the interconnectedness of distant cultures, is not as modern a concept as it sounds. For millennia humans have been sharing treasures, ideas, food - and other humans, which is far less spoken of when reminiscing about the romantic past. 

First part of the exhibition: China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia

We cannot forget that the brutalism of the ancient world always accompanied its greatest beauties. That is one of the threads woven into the story of Silk Roads, the new exhibition at the British Museum.

planet vs plastics

Earth Day is a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability, encouraging us to come together and take action for a healthier planet and brighter future.

This year wonder | wander | women are in the Philippines to celebrate the dual birthdays of our oldest and youngest Taurean males in the family.

Earth Day 2024

Being in the East for Earth Day, we are forced to confront the contrast between how we deal with plastics over here versus over there.
