i like cooking

yup.. i actually like to cook :)

cookingI realized this some time ago.
My dad always used to tell me to go sit in the kitchen with mom, to see how she cooks so i could learn, but I’m a bit too stubborn and didn’t listen (always thought i had all the time in the world. I’m still disappointed that isn’t’ suppose to be true :D ).

At first i only knew how to make boiled eggs and fried potatoes (even that was a disaster).

Little by little i tried to make other dishes. Classic peas sote, mashed potatoes, vegetable soup… simple foods. Then i thought why not mix more ingredients and see what i obtain. It turned out to be a good idea :)

I never asked for help or advices. I always preferred to make things by myself (darn stubborness…). I don’t deny there were a lot of times when i had to throw out all the food and order pizza but in time i realized i like to cook.

Since i realized i have a passion for kitchen activities, i started to work on my veggie-food site (i’ve been a vegetarian for almost 5 years).

Cooking is quite relaxing, and i feel great when someone tells me how tasty the food is :)

I still have to try harder with baking cookies. Rarely they turn out to be eatable.
But i still think i have all the time in the world :D

    This is very similar to my story with cooking. I like to cook too and being a guy you can bet I started off with very simple food!

    I don’t get a lot of time to do it, at the moment my beautiful wife does most of the cooking. But I think that only enhances my feelings because it hasn’t become a chore.

    Wow, i love cooking too! My last expirements is a chinese cuisine, preferable lu kai (shangdong cuisine). I found an opportunity to use google translate original chinese website, for example :

    _translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&js=n&u=http://food.goodmood.com.cn/cookery/2005111812513949.html&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&swap=1

    Good luck in your cooking expirements, and maybe good idea to white about it here?

    Also, I wanted to cook like you guys. But I think cooking is not for me. I always end up to overcooked the food. Pity for me. I always wanted to be like my mom who is really a great cook. She can cook any recipe even it is for vegetarian or not. Hope I could learn this thing also.

    I’m not so good in cooking. I only know how to fry and to cook rice. But I really really want to learn to cook something beyond my “expertise”. I want to learn to bake! :) But maybe I am just destined to eat rather than cook.

    Have a nice day!

    My very favorite food would have to be carrots and cabbages.

  9. Landlords Insurance on April 15th, 2009

    I agree cooking is quite relaxing but for some reason i don’t honestly believe it when someone tells me how tasty my food is :-p

  10. my mom and my sister is planning to start a business like a restaurant. Since my sister is an Entrepreneurial graduate, she can manage the restaurant and my mom who loves to cook will then be the chef. I think its a bad idea. Nice post though.

    Hey, your veggie site looks really cool.

  15. custom banners and signs on April 24th, 2009

    Just love recipes! I collect cookbooks and enjoy browsing and trying the recipes out of the books I collect. My husband has noticed my passion and fascination with cooking and has become interested in cooking himself. He’s always been the one to sit back and enjoy the food; now he enjoys preparing food as well. Becoming a recipe tester would give me the opportunity to express my feeling about certain recipes and add them to my collection.

    New recipes are always fun to try.

  17. filipino bands on April 29th, 2009

    I agree, cooking is quite relax full when you are doing it alone. If other people come in it tends to get a bit tense, for me anyways. And the smell of cooking spices, well…..that just can’t be beaten.

    Also I love watching cooking in television it gives a lot of idea..

  18. Music Philippines on April 29th, 2009

    Cooking is so much fun. I want to try coking something different. I hope to do that soon.

  19. online community philippines on May 11th, 2009

    I used to cook at home and I had fun whenever I cook.It makes me feel relaxed. Those that are easy to prepare meals are the ones that i started first. Thats why I used to read cook books to enhance my discovery about it.

  20. nissan@office space philippines on June 16th, 2009

    They say cooking is a passion and every woman must know how to cook. I do love to learn how to cook different cuisine that’s why I always watched TV shows about cooking and I really enjoyed it.For now what I only know is to fry and cook rice.^_^.Hope to learn soon cause I believe that “A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”.

  21. Irene Savoia on June 24th, 2009

    I want to learn cooking from my mother.Every time I go to the kitchen,my mother say you had better do nothing.Since everything is in a mass if I am in the kitchen.

  22. Gladys Calladine on June 25th, 2009

    A little help should not trouble you, I know how to fry eggs hehe :) . But knowing how to cook sometimes gives you complete control of the situation and if you’re a person who cares about your health then you’ll know which ingredients have more nutrition than others and you can make it for your liking then :) to make it tastier if those ingredients include few things which you don’t like but still are quite beneficial for health.
