    Just watched your show where you made pork fried rice. I am a chef myself and own a restaurant. You scared me as you put in un-cooked pork on top of onion (salmonella) this is a no-no. Primary rule of cooking meat, it must not touch anything until cooked. Plus you did not put enough rice (proportion was off), eggs should have been cooked in the center without touching the rice, now it looked like a mess. My suggestion, cooked the pork first, take it out. Cook the egg next, take it out, then follow your regular process of frying the onions, garlic….Now add the pork and eggs. This way the customer will be able to live another day and enjoy a delicious meal. This is why we call it Food Science(you are missing the science part). Anyway, it did not look appetizing, just a gooey mess.

    I ‘so’ enjoy my mornings, (usually as I iron a ton of clothing) watching your show, I love to hear your family stories while you toil in the kitchen! One question? Is this your kitchen or a studio set?…love to see Calder come by every now and then, of course along with Lucca!

    I make notes sometimes, and I repeat the menus now and then, ..speacialy love the ‘jerk chicken’ and ‘festival’ recipes, and the whole story behind the recipes, (I will travel to Jamaica one day!) I prepared the recipes for ‘fleet week’ San Francisco, my husband hosting 35 of his newest staff on our roof terrace to watch the Blue Angels..everyone enjoyed the food!

    I can’t wait for your next competition to come by…”Winner winner ..chicken dinner” was ..amazing!.. “I” have a couple of great “unheard of” desserts coming from Australia I would like to share!..(and by the way extremely simple….yet amazing).

    My best to you..in cooking up a storm Lucinda! Robyn

    I was thinking to make Chinese food healthy you would have to take out the soy sauce and any preservative that’s commonly associated with the seasonings.
