These past few months have stirred up my interest for cooking. How did it all start? Probably when I used to stay with my dad and he used to whip up meals with ease. I used to stand at the doorway of the kitchen and watch him work around the kitchen making meals. He used to cook for us. And he was a marvelous cook. Anyone who had tried his food, would have agreed with me. His curries were divine. They're something that I miss. The colors and smells of the kitchen, The myriad of assorted dishes and curries he would whip up for just a meal for two of us was remarkable. And he used to spoil me in this area, As he would always cook up something I liked to please me. Wether it was a simple vegetable stir fry to an awesome crab curry. Honestly, looking back at it. Seeing him cook in the kitchen is something that I miss. My dad always took pride in cooking, He was a tried and true perfectionist. Never settling for second best in whatever he prepared. His love for cooking I believe he eventually passed to me. And now I scour the kitchen, attempting to replicate the dishes that I love.
I've so far been able to make a few curries. Probably chicken curry is my best so far. But Ive still far to reach to even coming close to his standards. But thats ok ! I still have an entire lifetime to perfect my curries.
Anyone who's read Jamie Olivers book's know that his colorfully illustrated books have been made in a way to make you "semangat" to cook. Pouring through his books, one cannot help but feel pumped up to cook. I've even been downloading Gordan Ramsay's cooking series from the internet. They like teach you how to cook dishes from scratch. And they're like pretty awesome in appearance and presentation. They teach you from the basic skills down to the pro techniques used in the kitchen. I've been filled with so many ideas on what to whip up and for what occasions. I cant wait to try all of this out. Now if only I could find more guinea pigs~
