Trying to cook more

[mtsen]

In my quest to develop a taste for cooking at home I have had a couple of hiccups:

one, I am not ready to improvise, I end up wasting ingredients and , since I am making up the steps as I go, it tends to be messy. Both things frustrates me. for now, I am sticking to a selected recipes.

two, My selection of recipes is too disperse. I am a good cook, my food, when I cook, is very delicious and nutritionally rich. However, the recipes I know are so different from each other than I can hardly reuse an ingredient. What is worse, every time I am to cook, I need to buy the one ingredient that i am missing and that is then in danger of not being totally used before expiration date. (which in turn triggers my need to improvise so I can use the immense assortment of ingredients I end up with in 4 days or less)

You might read this and think I am taking this too seriously. Well, after 3 years of trying to figure out meal planning without success, I am paying attention to what I do, and why.

I'll get there.

I too started a lot of self cook recently and has successfully develope my own recipee on Bak Kut Teh and Curry ... its just yummy while saving some money. I actually am selling my recipee to earn extra income too ...
