Claire Yiu - Being a Wife is not Easy

After getting married last month, Claire Yiu has been hosting a new cookery show alongside Theresa Mo and Chow Chung called "Trainee Chefs Serve Up". Filming yesterday, she learned how to make 'Siu Lung Bau' (dumplings) and Tea-infused Chicken to say thank you to her bridesmaids Tavia Yeung, Natalie Wong and Rabee'a Yeung. Afterwards, the girls all complimented Claire's cookery and scored her as a 'human', that is just one below a 'god'.

It turns out that Claire's mother is a great cook and over the years, Claire has managed to learn a lot from her by watching and listening, but she is rather lazy and impatient, so when they were dating and husband Thomas Lam asked her to make dinner, she will just cook some simple Western dishes to humour him. Now she is married though, she feels she ought to work harder at making dinner, so she has started to take lessons from her mother in the hope of learning her skills and how to cook delicacies such as abalone, fish maw and delicious soup.

Claire smiles: "I am really not a bad cook, I even made the pastry for the dumplings myself, but I just don't have the time to nurture my talent. (Have you cooked a meal for your husband after your marriage?) No, I have not had time. I feel that being someone's wife is quite a pain because you have to look after your own work, keep your looks and learn to cook. However, keeping busy can be quite fulfilling."
