My name is Benji Ho. I am a family physician, family man, and life-long learner. This blog will be about making food. Not only is cooking an important life skill to better nourish our bodies, but also a great way to share our love for family and friends at the table, and to pass down rich cultural traditions from generation to generation. This is my cooking journey. Thank you for visiting Benji Bakes!
