Cooking is fun

Heeey!! How are you doing?

How was your New Year’s celebration?Hope it went well, joyful and with loads of good, delicious food!

Flying to the New Year!!

When I think of the end of the year, the first thing that comes to my mind is the food. The different kinds of dishes made with special ingredients and with a lovely touch from the one who had prepared them.

In my family, my mom and my aunt cook very well! They always say that they won’t prepare many kinds of dishes, but in the end, we have a table full of different kinds of food! From prawn to pork! We have all! Lol

And they make them so effortlessly! It’s a different kind of effort. It’s the kind that they make them flawless to have everything made deliciously.

The magnificence of their cooking is beautiful to be seen.

And for me, who don’t have so many abilities in the kitchen, it’s also fun to watch them cooking because they ask each other a question but they never do what the other one said to be done. Lol

And their anxiety is at a high level all the time! But we never see in their faces that cooking is a burden.

A cousin of mine always makes chicken. It’s not a chicken, nor a turkey. It’s a kind of big bird that I’ve never seen alive in my life! So, I say that it’s a very big chicken. Like, it’s really big! Ahahaha

I’m responsible for making the dessert. I don’t remember if I have told you, but I’ve become allergic to milk so I can eat dairy free desserts only! As it’s my problem, I make a dessert that I can eat that hopefully everyone likes it too.

This year, I made a cake, but it went wrong. Oh! I must tell you one thing! I got ill at Christmas. Actually, I wasn’t feeling well 5 days before with a fever, pain in my whole body and a terrible headache!

And my mood was awful!! Making the dessert that day was terrible!! I felt obliged to make it and I think that’s why my cake got so bad. It didn’t get fluffy or moist. It got dry! Almost like a stone! And while I was making the cake, because my mood was horrific, I was watching a soap that was a disgrace! Ahaahhahaha

Joining both – the soap and my bad mood, the result was a stone-like cake!

Cooking must be cool! I mean, we must feel well when we are cooking! Otherwise, we will make only lousy, tasteless or burned food.

I’m not a master chef in the kitchen but when I need to cook, I can make something to eat besides sandwiches or scrambled eggs.

By the way, can you cook? What’s your specialty? Pasta? Meat? Fish? Salad? Desserts?

As I got better after Christmas, for the New Year’s I made an apple cake.  I found a very easy recipe! It got delicious! Very tasty, moist, fluffy and full of cinnamon! I love cinnamon!

Do you know that cinnamon is a good spice to be used to make friends? If you’d like to make a cake or something else that you can use cinnamon in it and take it to a party or an event where you must bring something to eat, try it! Even if you don’t make any friends that day, the celebration will certainly be more pleasant and fun.

Cooking is part of our lives.

We may have a lack of time to spend in the kitchen but whenever we get the chance, I think it's very important to take the chance and enjoy what we are doing and making. The taste, the flavour, come from our energy. They come from the inside of us and those give the special touch for the food.

The holidays are over! It's time to return to our usual eating habits! And if you think you have to change some of your habits, think about cooking your own food or buy some homemade food from a person or shop you trust and it's worth the taste and price.

Thinking about good diet is good for our physical and mental health.

Enjoy your cooking!

Be well!
