Justmycooking is my cooking journey.

After reading this. Then I realized that I don't have to know it all but I must know what I am doing and be my authentic self. Give the real value and never claim something that I don't really have knowledge of.

So my story is, I'm a beginner in holistic health, I've been working in my family's restaurant for two years now. I have some cooking exp at some level.

What am I looking for is more ways to be creative in my cooking. Make it more fun and healthy and that's when creative cooking come into play. I don't follow recipes much, I am even more interested in cooking without a recipe. That means using your intuition to cook. This blog will be the place that I can share my journey with you.

The flavor that I am looking for is more of Tropical, Asian way because of my background. I like spices, herbs, and flavorful aromatic food. So that is what you can expect from me.

That's also another thing, I'm looking for ways to make my life more simple by learning how to cook basic food that I can make variation out of it. That means the possibilities are endless. It is kind of fun, isn't it? I was so overwhelmed by many mouth-watering food pictures and recipes on the internet and my cookbook collections. After browsing through so many recipes, my brain start to crack because of information overload. (ha ha) So I took a deep breath and tell myself to calm down and get to the point of what kind of recipe do I really need. Then I realized that it is really not a waste of time at all to learn from the simple and basic technique to make a steady foundation for my cooking before I attempt to make something extravagant that will turn out to be a failure.

My friend was a chef, now she is a cooking teacher and she told me that cooking is science and art in the same time. You have to know why we do such thing that we do. Everything has its own reason. Why do we put a certain ingredient before another? I used to ignore it and that ruined my brownies because I didn't add ingredients in the right order.

Aside from baking and some type of cooking, most of my cooking doesn't really have exact recipe of how much of each ingredient I put in to a dish. I can actually tell how it would taste like, but you have to adjust to your own taste. Don't be afraid that it is not going to be authentic. The same kind of dish can taste many different way with the same character that is still the essense of the dish. Some people like some flavor more than other. For example, I like to add a little bit of palm sugar in my Thai curry to blend with saltiness from fish sauce. Some people doesn't like sugar in thier curry. :)

So what you can expect from me it the idea of how you can use the idea to make something on your own. So have fun with it!

Organizing recipes with less paper so you can enjoy cooking more.

I make a recipe diary separate from my cooking blog. My blog is where I post t
