I've been reminded time and time again that I should pursue my passion. As far as I am able to recognize, my passion in life right now is to be able to learn the dishes I've enjoyed eating as a child, a teenager and as an adult so that I could provide my family with delicious home-cooked meals.
I've always been wary about cooking as I'm an "ingredient-dummy". I can't differentiate one vege from another, one type of meat from another nor can I distinguish between the many types of fishes available in the market. I can't even tell which one is fresh and which one's not. And although I visit the nearby wet mini market every weekend, I seriously don't know the prices of vegetables, meat or fishes. I'm one of those urban working mothers that never bothered to check prices or compare prices simply because I can afford to pay for it with my monthly income.
As I explore this cooking journey, I began to face my fears and try out recipes that I've never tried before. There is an ocean of knowledge that I have yet to explore and skills that I have yet to master. I am excited! But I still feel more confident when I learn by watching someone else prepare the ingredients and cook the dishes.
To my mum and mum-in-law, I'll be bugging you both... so be prepared! *winks*
To my family... and also my friends, be prepared to be my guinea pigs... wahaha *grins*
