I'm not entirely sure, a lot of it is instinctive. My weakness is baking because I'm mostly a 'measure by eye' kind of cook and baking requires more precision than that. I guess I also have quite a good ability to imagine flavor; if I can imagine how a combination of ingredients will taste then it'll usually be a pretty good meal even if I've never tried it before.
Also, I enjoy cooking which helps a lot. I like playing with good ingredients, learning how they react to different cooking techniques and so on. And I love to entertain and watch people eat food I've prepared. Food is love!
[Come on over to [email protected] and [email protected] - both could do with more regulars!]
Ahhh that's a big issue for me. Even when I'm tasting a spice I can't figure out how it'll make the dish taste (unless it's obvious like chilli). Good links thanks!
But I bet your cheese toastie game is on point!
Well I don't want to boast... but yes, yes it is.
I love a cheese toastie. I do mine in a cast iron skillet these days because one less specialist gadget in the kitchen is a good thing for me and because the clean up is easier.
But seriously, post your cheese toastie recipe to [email protected]! It's not for gourmet meals, it's for recipes that people actually use and love. For e.g., here's mine for a Sausage, fried egg, and Reggae Reggae Sauce sarnie.
Oh wow that looks amazing
