Celia Alphonsus is a kitchen nymph who has an insatiable lust (and appetite) for the creation and consumption of gastronomical concoctions. While she dreams of hosting her own travel show exploring hidden nooks and corners of the world, her very real day job is a scribe-for-hire on business and environmental issues for both online and print media. She was formerly a writer for the New Straits Times and assistant editor of Green Prospects Asia.
