Once upon a time, a sweet and loving mother wanted so greatly for her daughter to start cooking more. Either because she was tired of doing it for her after 20 years, or because she saw great potential in the young woman! (I'm sure it was the latter.) But how? How would she convince this content-with-how-her-life-was-already-going girl that she could develop a talent appreciated by all? For the Christmas and birthday events following this great conundrum, this sweet and loving mother slyly gifted her daughter with a an assortment of cookbooks, one which was equipped with basically every piece of knowledge needed regarding basic foods, how they work, and what instruments are best to use on them. :side note - I would suggest this basic cooking material to anyone wanting to know exactly how the food you use works! Genius idea mom!:
My mom is a genius and knowing how my brain functions, found me a cookbook that explained in detail how each food functioned when placed on heat, which ones were optimal regarding there chemical makeup, and even contained basic how-to pages on how to cut different kinds of meat. Anyone wanting to really understand what they're doing as they start to cook, should look into a book like this:
Then came my real passion: Italian! Ooohhh boy how I love Italian food. And my favorite? Giada. Classy dishes with gorgeous presentation. This is what I love to cook out of whenever I'm feeling fancy!
So many dishes that you will see on this blog come straight from, or are developed from concepts taught in these great books! They make great Christmas gifts, btw :)
