learn how to cook better

I can cook from a recipe very good, so I guess that’s learning something. I have cooked more this year than any other year in my life. I just hate cooking for myself, but love trying new things. We’ll see where that takes me, but at this point, it looks like more cooking will be done in the fall and winter for sure. Once I have someone to cook for be it a friend or someone special, it’s still not just me.

Well I haven’t killed anyone off yet, and have seemed to do somewhat good. My last batch of Speg. sucked, but I have intentions to make it better next time around. Still doing great with the roast thing, and baked goods too. Still love to be in the kitchen making food for people. Learning is good.

Being alone isn’t easy, but I do love to cook. I prefer things that are not too complex, or take too much time, but I would love to learn more about it. Being married to a cook didn’t help cause he did all the cooking and I just watched. I did pick up a few things, but would love to learn more. Expand my horizons.

I cooked something easy today, it was pasta, did it with love, giving it time with no stress and trying to enjoy the moment. It was just pasta with vegetables (red paprica, onion, carrot, mushrooms…and feta cheese) I love it so much and it was delicious! Looking for new recipes to try next week!

I know how to cook but i think i need more patience while im cooking. I learnt that at my grandmum´s last weekend. I spent the whole weekends and in there i saw how she prepares the same foods i have learnt to prepare but in a different way: with patience and time. I guess that´s one of the secrets for a good food apart than preparing it with love. I think ilearnt a lot in there.

As im not working and im living with my parents im in charge of the kitchen at lunch time; i make food for them and im doing pretty good, i guess. it´s nothing of creative kitchen (i mean i just cook what they want to eat and it´s always the same) but i got to a good level. I dont know when ill be able to “create” new plates or try new recipes because the risk is that they wont eat it and get angry at me.

Yes, i think im getting to it. with time enough to cook and patience i can cook very nice plates. wHat i would like to learn now is how to cook different recipes to the ones i know already. iknow the typical food that my mother prepares, but i want something new, i dont want to be eating the same all my life…first because my mum used to cook it when i was a kid, now because that´s what ive learnt to cook. : // mmmmm
