When I first started blogging, it was mostly a personal blog on Penang and then, I got my own domains and started this site. I’ve heard about Foodbuzz from a famous local blogger and saw the ads at several other food bloggers’ sites. So, I joined the community out of curiousity.

Whether it is cooking Asian food or western food or fusion food, the use of herbs is always better than using salt or any other flavourings. Herbs often add a fresh scent, flavour and taste to the food that can’t be replaced by artificial manmade flavourings.
Today, I bring to you the lesser known and lesser used herb…
Sage
