Second tip, if you cook by eye sight and not measurements, before throwing in the spices, throw them into a bowl, then take the measurement. That way you can share with others and not have them guessing.

Did you grow up in the Southwest? I love the cuisine of that region which is where I am as I type this. Roasting fresh chili's is my favorite way to bring flavor to the foods that I enjoy the most. Impressing your guy in the kitchen sounds great to me! LOL @ rebellious...sure why not? I always say "make it your own" and that is the way to do it. Looking forward to seeing what this creative talented community brings to this thread!

I get overwhelmed with meat. It is disturbing to me although I do enjoy it when someone else makes it. I worry things aren't healthy enough. I have cooking skills. I have knife skills. I used to work pantry in a restaurant. I just get overwhelmed.

Really even if i am reading a recipe unless it is for baking, I am going to modify it the same way that Canela just described. Sometimes that works, sometimes, not so much but it is all a learning experience.

There are some good jarred sauces out there but like everything else it seems to be just a matter of what tastes good to each of us. Sometimes I just take canned plum tomato's, a few cloves of fresh garlic and run them through the blender. Heat it up, season a little and there is a quick sauce. Nothing to it.

A cold spinach salad, for me, would be like yours, with more of an Asian influence. Warm, though? Has to have bacon. It's the law. I make a spinach salad at home that is horrible for water retention....lots o' salt in it, but it's really good. Fresh spinach, kalamata olives, feta, tomatoes, deli smoked ham, and Caesar Parmesan vinaigrette. Sometimes I'll throw some fresh button 'shrooms in there too. |

The downfall or blessing to not using measurements when I cook is that I make too much. I pack up the extra and take it to my mom, aunt, uncle, anyone who is available and not on a special diet. lol...(I learned the hard way)...
But it's the only way I know how to cook. I really hate to cook for one, I can NEVER get it right. How can that be?

There's an idea! How about a reunion with kitchen priviledges! Then we could put on a luncheon or something....we could even coordinate the foods for the different courses and such...cultures, tastes, regional favorites all showcased.

One of my favourite food memories is the first time I visited my brother in Europe, he was living in Frankfurt at the time, we went to the corner grocer and bought bread, cheeses and meats. They eat that for breakfast.
My favourite was the Quark cheese (with herbs) on their wonderful baguette bread with a slice of salami. Oh my god food is so much better in Europe. I was hooked and now whenever i visit my brother he knows to have Quark and Salami for me. Yummy That and Lamb in Barcelona, any restaurant. I don't know why they do it so well, but they do. Ok, and the ice cream from the street vendors in Vienna. And the chicken donair at the Amsterdam train station. And the salami and spinach pizza anywhere in Germany. Have i mentioned how much I like (good) food? And Europe has some of the best. Although my mom made awesome pyrogies.

I loathe to measure in the kitchen.
Which really confuses people since I teach cooking classes. For them, I suck it up and write up a "real" recipe in advance with measurements and how many a recipe serves... but when I'm demo teaching it's all about how to eyeball and tell from texture and scent if something is just right. My latest exciting dish at a class was a basic split pea soup, but without ham, and fluffed up with steamed and pureed cauliflower stirred into the soup and then the whole thing was topped with a drizzle of balsamic. *yum!!!* |
