About Mrs5

I am happily married and lead a fulfilling 9-5 job, but cooking has become much more than just a hobby for me—it’s a true passion.

My journey began when I pursued a degree in Music, specializing in Piano Performance and Pedagogy, with dreams of becoming a musician and music educator. While I thoroughly enjoyed teaching and playing the piano, I constantly challenged myself to explore other avenues beyond music.

In 2016, my husband and I made the exciting move to Vancouver, embracing a completely different lifestyle. As expected, we faced some initial struggles during this transition period. I also grappled with a sense of fear, wondering if being a musician or music educator was truly what I desired. I knew deep down that I yearned for something else.

During this period of self-discovery, I found solace in cooking, particularly in preparing my favourite homemade dishes. Not only did it help alleviate my homesickness, but it also sparked a growing love for the culinary arts.

In 2020, amidst the most challenging year of my life, when the world was deeply affected by the impact of Covid, I decided to start my Instagram recipe blog. It was during this time of upheaval and deteriorating mental health that I found a creative outlet and a source of relaxation through cooking and sharing my recipes.

To me, cooking is an art form, akin to music, where precision and patience are the keys to success. This led me to delve into food photography and plating techniques, adding an extra touch of beauty to my creations.

A few years later, I finally leaped and launched my recipe blog—Mrs5cookbook recipes—where I could share my love for cooking with a wider audience, focusing on the best Asian recipes.

Thank you for visiting my blog, trying out my recipes, and being a source of inspiration. I hope you enjoy your culinary adventures and find the same joy and satisfaction in cooking that I do.

Warm Regards,
Mrs5
