What to do when your child has a fever
Nyree
This week, my daughter, like many people in Hong Kong right now, has been bed-ridden with a fever. It had me thinking, if I’d been away, would my helper (and for that matter, my husband!!) know what to do to correctly deal with a fever? Moreover, if the fever had become worse, and she’d had febrile convulsions, what immediate actions should be taken? Babies and young children can experience a much faster rise in core body temperature than adults. So when we act, we need to know what to do fast, leaving nothing to guesswork. This post offers practical advice that every care-giver in your home should read and comprehend.

Today I unveil my husband's ultimate steak recipe. Over the past 6 years he's experimented to maximise juiciness, meaty flavour and texture. Finally, he’s found the most incredible balance.
For me, the ultimate steak must have a crunchy, smoky, outside crust that contrasts perfectly with the pink, juicy, melt in your mouth core that spans from edge to edge.
I will reveal cooking techniques that may seem deeply unconventional but that is because most of us are conditioned to recipes often developed by commercial kitchens, with the goal of optimising for speed. At home, we have the luxury of time so we can alter our methods to maximise for succulent taste and texture. This recipe will allow you to cook a steak that is far superior to what is possible in any steakhouse.
