Good food is Good Mood

When you learn how to cook and getting use with it, you’ll find so many experiences during the time. Good lessons or bad lessons, i bet every homecook must be experienced by it. You’re lucky if you learn how to cook at a young age. But cooking doesn’t care with any age you come with. Younger or older, it all depends on how many times you try to make foods and get along with cooking itself.

I just had an experience in my kitchen last night. Well first, i can’t exactly count how many time i made mistakes in my own kitchen. Cooking or Baking Mistakes, been there and done there. And second, i’m easily to forget something and believe me, that only made the experience worst. Lately, i forgot that i put a bottle of mint flavor into a bottle of unused vanilla flavor. Then when i baked a vanilla cake, without any hesitation (and consciousness) i poured the vanilla bottle contains with mint into the cake batter. THE WHOLE BOTTLE! As clear as you can see, my cake is VERY minty! It even taste like eating a peppermint cake. Blame my memory then….

Wine, to drink or to eat?

Some of you must be familiar drinking wine or eating foods that cooked with wine. Well, maybe you don’t know if your food contained with wine, but i believe when you dining in a fine dining restaurant  then some of the food might contains wine in it.
We all know that wine had been used in so many events for centuries. In Christian, wine was Jesus’ first miracle. So that makes wine as an old beverage. Well, i’m not going to talk how wine made or how to taste a good wine. I’m going to talk about wine as a cooking ingredient.

For some people who’ve seen some foods i made, they must be know that most food i made are Western Foods. And Italian foods did dominate them. If you you wonder where i come from, well i was born from mix tribes in Indonesia; Sanger (North Sulawesi) and Batak (West Sumatra). And yes, that made me an Indonesian and my mother tongue is Bahasa.
So, now you might be wonder why did i never cook Indonesia Cuisine? Well, i did. When i was still in my Cooking School. They included Indonesian Foods in the second term along with Asian Foods. I cook some of Indonesian Traditional Foods such as, Ikan Garang Asam (Fish with Sour Coconut Milk Sauce, Rawon (Beef Black Soup), Sop Buntut (Oxtail Soup), Soto Madura (Traditional Soup from Madura, East Java), etc.
