so excited about my new cookbook! this is a relatively new passion of mine – cookbooks! i like cooking and mostly improvise, or cook something i’ve learnt from my mum or look up a recipe online. i have a feeling my recipe book collection is going to grow. mmmmmm..
just as well i’m a participant of the dailymuscle transformation camp – i need to work off the results of my cooking experiments!
this book that i bought is modern Japanese cooking by harumi kurihara. her first book won the ‘recipe book of the year’ award, so i was sold. haha. it does seem like it was written for the western audience, it doesn’t claim to be a ‘how-to’ on tradititional Japanese cuisine, which also would be too much for a novice like me to grasp. i love the Japanese way of eating – small amounts of many types of food, with meticulous attention to detail and freshness of the ingredients.
the other cookbook in my humble collection is a birthday gift from my sister. it is perhaps the opposite of Japanese cooking – big mounds of hearty, English (and Italian inspired) fare.. it’s honest to goodness Jamie Oliver.
wow, i guess i really have to cook something now that i’ve talked so much about cooking. :) if you’re lucky, i might get around to some cooking and actually putting it up on my blog before slipping into the (almost-year-round) blogger’s block. ok fine, apathy. call it whatever you like. for now, it’s back to admiring the beautiful food photographs. :D
i found your blog! oh no, i just drafted a post about my cooking (read that as non-cooking) skills. was just waiting to add photos as someone (read that as one of my kids) took my camera. anyway, i’ll be waiting for your cooking experiments…will take failed ones, too! :)
My dear friend! Update your blog more pls! Heehee.
