I've been cooking quite a lot lately and cooking things which I kind of already knew how to cook before. My CAS coordinator however made a pretty good point today. CAS should be interesting, challenging and something new every time, therefore from now on I decided I would cook things I've never even tried before. My dad is a great cook of Hungarian foods and I love what he does, yet I can't prepare half of the meals he usually cooks. My goal is to turn his cookingg experience into legacy and pass it on in the family by learning his techniques throughout the year. My parents left to hungary about a week ago, and the evening before my dad arrived pretty late so he couldnt cook for me for the whole week. Therefore i started to prepare the planned meal, pörkölt. He eats it with noodles, I eat it with rice, but the main point was the stew itself. I prepared it in about two hours and it truly needed more wine in it (he would have put twice as much :) )but it actually was similar to what he did.
- I increased my awareness of my own advantages in cooking
- Undertook a new challange in a sense
- And developed a new skill of cooking beef in stews.
Here is a picture of how it looks ( I just finished the last serving today and forgot to take a picture of my own, however managed to take a picture of the pencakes I made as well for dessert. The only problem is that I made those before and were delicious already)
