Posted by Anonymous 5 August 2007, 06:04:27 PM I found these recipes very handy as I am a new first time grandmother. I never had the opportunity to have these foods when I had my own daughter cos I married a westerner and my parents disowned me. Thanks for bringing me back to my roots.
Posted by Puah Siew Min 23 April 2008, 03:27:09 PM hi, I am wondering why aren't there any desserts for confinement recipies?
Posted by Cecilia Koh 23 April 2008, 09:15:06 PM Hi Siew Min The reason there are no recipes for dessert is that traditionally most Chinese do not eat desserts. I will try adding some recipes for those who are interested but give me some time to cook them and get the photos, hopefully by the end of May.
