Books

Almost a month nt blogging... no mood to post anything yet. But how? I still have to get something written on my blog so my html counter will go on and on and on...

 
(Ingredients)

SPM is over... Its a relief, no need to flip any of my biology, chemistry or physics books anymore.. NEVER!!!! Its time to move on, moving on to the next stage.. Its cook book time! I got a book today... I can see from Simon's eye that he feel that the book not worth buying, because its full of pictures, and some are pixelated too. This book is all about ingredient, the tittle is "Ingredients".

Its a good book actually for beginner who likes cooking so that you can know more ingredients so wider your field of cooking.For me , recipe books are nt really helpful for a  beginner, when you start reading the recipe, you will start asking your mom "mom, what is sage?" "mom, what is this, where can we get this?" all sorts of question will be throw to your mom. Recipe books provides lots of idea for preparing a dish , but ingredients are what you need for a dish. If you life western food, getting a western cooking recipe book, lots of ingredients  you cant get it in your own country. Its just like you need to learn  A-Z before you can make up a word.

So basically this "Ingredients" is to show and explain to you those ingredients around the world. They explain about the origin of the ingredient, the use of it and the taste or smell of it.You can also get a chance to know body parts of pigs(sensitive issue),lamb,hare,calf,cow,
chicken, duck and many more.Herbs and spices, vegetables, fruits, cheese, meat, dried foods are all in this ingredient bible.

I think its time for me to know more about ingredients, so i can create something new for my farewell party and some dishes to dine with my F.U.C.K.(Friends you can keep) XD. So to my dear friends, this book is bought just for you people....

Next on, this book i bought 1 year ago, its quite a goob book for me. The name of this book is "Hamlyn complete Cook". 400 ingredients explained,100 tools and utencils, 1000 recipes and 50 basic technique, what can you expect more? this book have a weak point, not enough pictures. So whatever recipe you tried from that book, you wont be able to know how the real final result looks like.

To young people around who wish to start cooking, don not rely on cook books too much, because cook books are cant be perfect. Cook books can guide you throughout the cooking process, but many little technique they wont tell you. So, follow you heart, if you cant get the exact ingredients, its okay. Try it out with other alternative ingredients, the result could be better. 
Everyone have different taste buds. Its up to your own liking.
