Hey there! I am a stay at home Mom and Wedding Photojournalist. When not running after my 4 year old or taking pictures I love to cook (and eat too)! If I have any other free time I also enjoy knitting, reading, camping, hiking, playing video games, and just spending time with family and friends.

My English name is Gail and my Chinese name is Ji Li, but somewhere along the way people started combining everything together and I somehow ended up the nickname of Gelly. So, if you have questions about any of my recipes you can contact me at gelly@yummydishes.com

So, since my day job is in the photography field, you’re probably wondering where are all the great food photos, right? Who has time for a full photo shoot before eating a meal? I’d rather eat it than drag out all my gear and start taking light readings and positioning reflectors. The food would get cold! And if anything is left after a meal it’s not pretty anymore. So, any pictures that I do take will probably be from my point and shoot, or maybe my ancient Canon 10D with a camera mounted flash, not my pro gear. Sorry!
