- A Mothers Treasure
Every mother has her own culinary treasures. They are called recipes. If you frequently have those late night cravings for your mother's mini apple pies or unique kind of chocolate-chip cookies, now that you do not live at your parent's house anymore, perhaps it is time to give in to her advice and spend some quality time with her in the kitchen. By helping her create your favorite meal or dessert, you will gain much more than copying her cooking instructions. You will actually advance your cooking skills and bond with her.
This is not an easy deal and you know it. Most likely, you will have to hear that old same story that she has no idea where she has put that piece of paper containing all the "secret" ingredients and measurements for the specific recipe-it is likely that it did not ever existed. But, if you sound serious, she will probably ask you to join her next time she is about to create that tasteful delight of your choice, so you can take a peek or two during the cooking preparation process. Do not miss that kind of once-in-a-lifetime offer. These are your cravings we are talking about, you certainly cannot treat them with disrespect; they will hunt you down late at night until you say "Enough is enough!" - Cooking With Children
Next Sunday morning, surprise your angels by inviting them to the kitchen and join them in creating their own breakfast. Instead of having kids run down the stairs screaming over a toy, let them invest some of that energy and creativity into a new experience they will love repeating every week with you at their side. Cooking with children can be an instructive and amazing process of observing them as they become responsible and able to organize not only the food ingredients, but most importantly their own minds.
Do not let the fear of them being hurt or injured stop you from letting your children bond with each other as well as with you. Cooking preparation can bring families together in a whole new sense. Giving in to some of their demands, while teaching them how to use the available resources, can be a unique experience for everyone involved. Under your guidance and support, kids can learn how to handle eggs, mix butter with sugar, open up a milk bottle, or place the prepared food into the right size of containers. Cooking can become a new tool for you to transfer the knowledge you want and have fun in the meanwhile. - Japanese Cooking
Do you love Japanese food? The funny thing about Japanese food is that you either love it or you hate it. There is no in-between. And chances are, if you hate it, you probably haven’t really tasted Japanese food yet or haven’t given yourself a chance to sample it enough. Japanese food is hard to appreciate after only one bite. And sometimes, the idea that you are tasting raw food just won’t escape your mind that you are already predisposed to hating Japanese food even before you actually taste it.
Personally, I love Japanese food. There really is no other cuisine like it in the world in terms of its unique taste and presentation. Who would believe that something so raw could be so delicious? For those of you who have not yet discovered the pleasures of Japanese food, allow me to present the following primer.
