After getting a taste of experimenting in the kitchen and discovering it was actually FUN, I decided to create a blog to keep all the easy, cost-effective and nutritious recipes I've come across and tried, along with some notes on the results.

Why "Helly's Kitchen", despite the fact that Allan is the one who does most of the cooking? That's obvious-- it's a play on the ever-famous "Hell's Kitchen", and since my name is Helly, it blends in so nicely :-)

Why "lycheesilk"? Because the anagram generator gives such good ideas for blog names, and putting in "hellys kitchen" yielded something with both the words "lychee" and "silk" (I took out some of the rest to keep it simple). Also, lychee is a food-- nice representation of a food-related blog. Finally, the "Li" part of my Chinese name is written with the same character used in "lychee", making this especially perfect.
