The Art of Cooking

Hoi Sin Sauce USDA Prime Ribeye Steak - 1st attempted home cooking meal =)

An ability that i have always wanted to master (or at least learn the basics of!) but have not had the time nor been in a situation that has forced me to really do it.  When you have a mum like mine who can cook anything on planet earth and cook it well, you really don't have the incentive or need to try and screw up the show.

Things are different now... As much as i like burgers and can eat/accept sandwiches, i am not going to be able to eat such stuff 3 meals a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Home-cooking has its merits and as i have found out, great pride and satisfaction if done err... satisfactorily. It doesn't have to be Jamie Oliver standard, just edible!  

Despite almost burning down the house the first 2 or 3 times i dared to whip up something in the kitchen (1st time in a microwave for chrissakes!), i stuck to my gus and continued trying and have made a few meals for myself to date.  I've even had guests over for one of them, haha.  These dishes won't be enough to start a restaurant anywhere in the world but at least i won't go without home-cooked food for 6 months!
