My kitchen experiments ♥♥♥

If there is one thing I love besides eating and writing, it would be cooking. Not just for myself, but for my family and loved ones.

My fascination in the kitchen did not come to me at an early stage. All I remember growing up is watching cooking shows and that's about it. At age 14, my mom had to drag me into the kitchen so that I could learn how to cook; my best dish during that time was "anything fried". What made me take cooking seriously was when my Dad gave me a very practical advice; he said "Basta masarap sa panlasa mo, masarap na din yan sa iba". Now we're getting started. Tee-hee!

At the start, I use to follow recipes from books or those passed on by my Mom or Titas; but majority of those dishes are just regular main dishes (Nilaga, Sinigang, Adobo). Up until some years ago, I experimented putting twists on some dishes I have tried from several restaurants. My family liked it. Sometimes, I bring bigger "baon" so that I can share it with my colleagues at work.

Here are some of the dishes I have experimented so far:

Grilled Pork with buttered veggies ♥

I do not have refined palate but I know I cook good food. My family's round figure is an attestment to that fact. ♥♥♥♥♥
