Finally!!! Someone who is actually doing something to learn how to cook

-


Just this last week I received an email from a blog viewer that really made me smile.

As I have mentioned many times before. So many people say they want to learn to cook, eat healthier, loose weight (yet they eat fast food on a daily basis) and even one day find prince charming (who by the way has a stomach and needs to eat decent food).

But my point here is: There are not many who are actually putting in the efforts to get it done. How will you ever learn  to cook if you don't even try, are too lazy or give up easily? Hopefully one persons enthusiasm may inspire you.

Hello Mrs Elise, 

My name is Amelia and I am from  the Uk, the branch her in Finsbury Park

I have been looking at you blog and love the different recipes you have shared!!. I can almost taste it lol. 

Well just today I had made a Cooking Rota, on the days in which I will be cooking at home  ( I live with two of my close friends). I am down for Tuesday's and Sundays, and I wanted to do something special, tasty, healthy and filling. Not only for a week but constantly making tasty food to enjoy and not just to 'kill that hungry belly'.

What do you suggest?

I was thinking to make a lasagna, but not to sure of how to make it.


Looking forward to hear from you :-) xx

My ultimate goal.. is to lead them to You 
What a smart person, this is a young lady with vision. As she mentioned she wants to make quality food not just to 'Kill that hungry belly' as she wrote :  ) but to taste great as well.

By the way, I have already posted a blog of a delicious lasagna recipe. Just put in the search bar on the top right hand side of the page. Type in lasagna and it will take you to that post. Try it...

You can write to me as well and share your experiences. How has this blog helped you? Share this experience with me and I might just post it on my blog. Imagine how many people you can also inspire with your story and dedication to being a great cook. Or even for specific kitchen questions.

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
