I learned how to cook

I’ve been watching culinary show on television since my teen-age year. I’m very interested in cuisine so that every time I watch. I’ll make sure that I write it down to my notes every single detail of the meal. It seems to me that it so easy to cook food that’s why I also collect some clippings of menu in the Magazine and labeled-products then I posted it in the notebook. My compilations of recipes are arranged into groups such as dessert, pasta, meat, fish, veggies and chicken so that I can easily find.

I started cooking when I was 15 yrs old. Actually, frying of foods is the only thing that I can do and it took me time to make it perfect. Afterwards, I tried to cook some of the recipes that I collected in the book. I enjoy it from the preparation of ingredients to the actual cooking. Sometimes, when some of ingredients are not available I used other option but then I’ll make sure that it will not compromise the taste of it. It feels like I‘m just playing while cooking although it really needs to take some energy and creativity to make a tasty food. I cooked occasionally and in my free time. I feel happy when they like the taste of the food.

Vegetables

Nowadays, Children are really hard to feed vegetables. You can’t trick them because they can easily know it on the color. Guilty! I was one of them. There are times they were choosy in food that they want to eat and become a picky eater. I bet! One of their favorite meals is chicken especially when it is fried. Well, I love chicken too. I remember when I was a child my mother used to cook vegetables mostly everyday. She was very strict when it comes to food. Also, she was always reminds me about the nutrition that I can get on it; which is I memorized it already.

At that time, my Grand mother gave me a teaspoonful of bitter melon leaves extract. She told me that this is good for my health. Hmmp… it seems they were conniving against me! At first, I was doubful to take it because I knew that it was not a vitamin and when I tasted it; there so much bitter on my tongue that I almost cried to swallow. They won! Gradually, I began to like the taste of all kinds of fruits and vegetables. It is become a part of my daily meal.
