Assalamu'alaikum! Do you like to cook? I used to hate cooking, but....
Starting reeeally small: making chocolate dates for Lebaran treats
Making pancakes with friends at home
Pesto bread, vegetable salad & mushroom spaghetti
Once in my college, there were a festival called "Teknik Industri Fun Day". A cooking competition held and every labs (there's 5 labs at my campus), students & lecturers should participated. I was assistant in computer lab with other 5 girls (Yaniz, Mirsa, Nita, Irma) and none of us can cook! Welehhh... It was a scary thing for us: What will we cook? We'll only embarrassed ourselves! The night before competition, we practiced together to make i fu mie. Failed, but we hoped tomorrow would be better.
On the competition day, we forgot to bring food cutting board and not enough knife. Not prepared at allll... Other contestants were aware of our team, "Watch out, there's Tiananda in computer lab's team, she owns a catering!"
Gahahahaaahh..
Somehow our i fu mie's broth were too thin, tastes weird (too many sesame oil), and the noodles wasn't cooked well. Even the judges didn't try to eat it :)) Of course we lose.
That's my cooking background.
Melon dragon & lemon juice
Fruit salad for breakfast
After marriage, especially after moving in our own home, I must learn to cook myself. I was a little bit afraid that my cookings tastes bad, but however, I know my hubby would eat my meals :)
Preparing meals were confusing at first, but later it's getting easier. Alhamdulillah my hubby never demanded me too-much-spiced food like gulai or rendang etc, because he's trying to live more healthily. We looove sauted vegetables, so easy breezy!
Guacamole & egg in bread for hubby's breakfast
Roasted potato & grilled salmon for dinner
Now I believe, cooking is easy (as long as you choose the easy recipe hahahahaha). Simple ingredient & simple technique can do a delicious meals too! So I encouraged all girls out there who maybe like me: afraid too cook, to just try! There were plenty of simple recipes out there! ;)
Beef steak with potato wedges
BTW in case you're wondering our food were a little bit western-ish, well, I just didn't capture the oseng-oseng tempe, tumis toge, sayur bayam, sop & other tumis-tumisan ga jelas :p
