I just got back from the library and found this delightful cookbook by Kylie Kwong, Simple Chinese Cooking. So far, the photos are exquisite and the background information is very thoughtful and thorough without being boring! I love reading cookbooks because it's a way for me to escape into the world of food and learn more about different styles and techniques of cooking. I love being inspired by new flavors and ingredients, and cookbooks are my "cheatsheet" for teaching myself how improve my cooking. The library is the best resource for me to try out cookbooks before deciding if they are worth buying later on.
While I adore cookbooks, I have to admit that I am also addicted to YouTube, now, because I can find out how to make virtually anything and watch someone show me how to do it without taking a cooking class. I love how all kinds of information and recipe instructions are out there on YouTube, ready to serve my curiosity at the touch of a button!

Wanna come cook for us for awhile? Or just teach me to cook. . . Problem is, I'm a little picky, but I know poor Sam would appreciate a little more variety!
ReplyDeleteOh, Amber, you are too funny--I'm sure your cooking is wonderful! You're picky?? I don't recall that! What don't you like???? I am pushing myself to make new things. Even though it's hard, it makes me happy when things turn out good and it's like I accomplished a nice challenge. I used to tell myself to try at least one new recipe a week, but sometimes that was an unrealistic goal--so, I'm happy if I do one new dish a month (is that setting the bar too low? LOL).
