I am interested to learn how to cook this time. And I am really cook – I want to learn how to cook different cuisines. And even bake. Knowing how OC and anal I can be I feel enrolling myself to cooking classes would be better for me in the long run. Unfortunately, these types of classes can cost an arm and a leg that I’d need to apply for loans online so I can afford to enroll.

So I guess it is back to cookbooks, recipes online and getting advice from my mom and friends for me. I have bought cookbooks on sale, ones which are fairly easy to do and feature ingredients I can buy easily from the grocery store or the market. I am one who follows recipes to the letter. I do not experiment with spices. I can even just cook without tasting what’s cooking. That is why I always go for tried and tested recipes. I have friends who can tell what ingredients are in a recipe, a sauce for example, just by tasting – I am not like that. I just like to eat! If it tastes good, better – I would not even bother trying to find out what made the meal taste good.

I still have a long way to go. I just hope this sudden spark of interest towards cooking would not wane easily. My husband is praying for it. He is even joking that I can ask for anything I want as long as I learn how to cook good!
