H2O2: that's why i mentioned to be careful with the seasoning and texture. aside from that everything else is easy. plus we have different tastes so the cook has to determine for herself how much seasoning is adequate. i didn't take any lessons and my food always tastes and smells nice even if it comes out differently because i use enough of the right seasonings. my emphasis is she just has to start cooking something, searching for less daunting recipes and trying them out. that's the only way to learn, no one learns by simply watching their mother cook. MrCrackles: how do you think recipes come about? chefs decide to try a combination of ingredients and flavours in one meal, that's how. they aren't always successful, and even the best of them make mistakes. it's all about exploration. people who never shake up recipes would be stuck with few, boring, old meals . |

GL:No underestimating the practical aspect of cooking - that's the act itself, but don't dare downplay the insight gained and instinct developed by those who watch their mothers cook. Their learning process began through observation while yours was more hands-on and experimental/exploratory. cough cough . . I figure I should commend you for not standing aloof expecting some paranormal miracle to teach you how to cook. You don't want to go into marriage being an exploratory cook who's just experimenting with recipes to see what ingredients might blend. Bad food is not welcoming or pleasant to the stomach. Point is, you took the initiative. Even though you were a late bloomer you made a concerted effort to learn. If you had waited until marriage I'm sure your husband would have been understandably displeased. The means by which you learned your cooking is of no importance to me as long as you can cook satisfactorily. That automatically garners you 1000 attraction points. |
