During my high school years in Switzerland, I have made many friends from different countries. In this work, I tried to illustrate my friend and I attempting to make pasta as we were very hungry. 

Cooking is one of my hobbies. One day I exchanged messages with a friend reviewing recipes of various cuisines. This is quite a simple task but I have decided to make it into a book because while simple, it is one of the activities that we do quite often. 

We have bonded over these cook talks over time which now has attached meaning to me. Even now, we still cook for ourselves every time something special or something worth celebrating comes up in our life as we like to add tradition to our lives making it special to each one of us. 

Text messages provide an amusing method of delivering a special recipe, which is commonly found in a fancy cookbook or kept secret by a chef.
