I love to cook!So to keep up with the "wish list" of mine( the one I listed earlier was merely a mini version of it- have a longer one!) I decided to try at least a new recipe every week.And surprisingly this one "wish" of mine  was do-able, as in, I have yet to procrastinate on. In fact, I've been exceeding my own expectations-I've been trying out more than just 1 recipe every week,for the past 4(pat myself on the back :)). I've read somewhere once that the kitchen is actually like an experimental lab, there's no rule in cooking.So each dish you'd cook  is like a new found "thing".I've kept that in mind since then. Right now I'll  just imagine which ingredient would taste great with the other,then just cook them up together.Basically I think a good cook would be someone who'd know and memorize the taste, smell, texture etc. of any ingredient  then come up with something, that tastes oh so good.Hopefully I'd be someone as skilled as that.In the meantime, I'll continue being my kitchen's own little chef. With this I've also started eating out less, hence-MONEY SAVED!(I'm coming Seoul, Milan, Macau, Beijing). Plus I've totally minimize the use of salt and sugar- go go health!Here are some of the dishes I made.I strongly recommend on playing some opera(Cecilia Bartoli-my favourite) or some classical + foreign language songs(right now I'm into Italian), whilst cooking. It never fails to make me feel like I'm in some high class European kitchen and it just gets me in the right mood.
