Cooking

I think these days more and more people are loving cooking and baking. I think it's because more and more people are becoming health concious and wants to know what they are eating. I use to cook for the sake of cooking, I didn't love or enjoy it, I just did it because I needed to eat. I think most people can relate to that. But I got really inspired watching all these cooking shows on TV, the chef really makes it look so easy and so much fun. I have learned a lot from watching these shows, one of the most improtant thing I have learnt is to use fresh ingredients and I have to say I'm so glad I took that advice and tried it because there isn't really anything like fresh produce. It taste 100 times better than the can goods.

Using fresh herbs is another thing. I know it's more convenient to just buy dried herbs but if you have ever tried cooking with fresh herbs you will never go back to dry packed ones. They taste so much better, it's more aromatic and the flavour is not comparable to the dried ones. I am still learning heaps and I constantly try new recipes and I'm so happy that I have become more adventurous when it comes to trying out new foods. It's so educational. I have some really good recipes if you guys want me to share some.
