Cooking, increasing the skill

Ability to cook in growth

Cook: It depends on each person's approach to converting a group of ingredients into a good tasting food, cooking can become a profession, where in general the best chefs in the world are men.

However, women, being the people who spend more time at home, are those who are interested in obtaining more growth and skill in the kitchen. For them, one of the first reasons why the love for cooking is born, is to please the biggest diners in each house, which are the children.

Women seek to create, learn new recipes that satisfy the need of the taste of children and adults, at present, cooking is an apprenticeship, because people do not create recipes with specific ingredients, but seek to use the ingredients that are available in their houses and supermarkets. That's why we can say that in the kitchen, we increase our skills by creating tasty foods with the materials at hand or inventing new recipes.

In Venezuela there is a variety of sweets and typical food, depending on the dates of the year it is customary to prepare varied recipes, such as:

In Easter that almost always falls in March the "cuajado" or fish cake is cooked, the recipe consists of shredded and seasoned fish, potatoes boiled in slices, fried banana on wheels, beaten egg on snow, this united in a tray and taken to the oven for cooking, is like cake, eaten with rice and sweet white beans.

On the other hand every day at the Venezuelan table it is customary to prepare the arepa, and among its varied forms of preparation are its fillings. One of them, perhaps the most popular is the filling of the Queen Pepiada. For the filling of this arepa, proceed with 500gr of chicken, 4 cloves of garlic, 2 medium onions, 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 4 tablespoons of oil. Salt and pepper to taste, and consists, simply to integrate all those ingredients together, forming a pasty puree that will serve to fill the arepas and take them to the table to make happy the diners.

Also at any time of the year the Creole pavilion is prepared, which contains the following ingredients: 1/2 kg black beans, 3 medium onions, 8 green and red sweet peppers, 6 cloves of garlic, 1/2 cd. Pepper, 1 / 2 cdts oregano, 1 stems chives, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 kilored meats, 2 cups rice, salt to taste. For after its preparation, obtain a plate like the one shown in the following image.

Among many of the searches for food alternatives, we have one of the meals that the Venezuelan has had to carry out to replace the pre-cooked corn flour arepa, with the banana arepa and / or cassava arepa. He has played recipes with ingredients that you would never have thought could be eaten as it is: Pyre salad (leaves of plants growing in the bush), banana shell stewed with rice and beans, pastiche of yucca (without pasta) with meat ground, ham, cheese, all this is very tasty.

In the search to learn new recipes of typical foods from other countries, people make online and face-to-face courses where they make all kinds of recipes easy to make as is the case of the following link cooking competitions

The art of cooking is sometimes a hobby, but it is also a profession for many, studying to be chefs takes many hours of dedication, conducting courses, seeking information on new recipes or flavors, sharing recipes and online information with other people from different countries

But there are also people who only do it to please family members or simply because they have a love for cooking and feel satisfaction that they taste the meals made by them and they tell them "" I like how you cook".

Food is something that we all need. Our body can not live without eating and as we are mind, body and spirit, the way we cook is transformed in some way, into food for the soul. It has to do with the time and energy we dedicate to the other.
This statement does not have to frighten those who do not like cooking. Any activity can be transformed into an act of love. The only thing I try is to communicate my version about the kitchen.
I like to give away things that interest or like the other, do not buy anything to get by. Food is something that we all need. Our body can not live without eating. And since we are mind, body and spirit, my way of cooking also includes food for the soul. The person who cooked me thought of me, chose the ingredients, invented a new dish, flavored it, served it and dedicated himself to me, he thought about how to satisfy a need of mine, he took me into account. When I cook I take into account all these things. I want to reach your soul and I want to tell you that I want to give you my best, I want to "nourish you." Behind that warm plate of food is the time I dedicated to you and me.
Without a doubt, cooking is an act of love for me! Counselor María José Zorrilla

We all have to feed. Without a doubt, it is not the same to eat as to be nourished. The person who cooks for others not only feeds us, but also gives us food that is a basic need of every human being. It also nourishes us.

When I plan the food, all my senses, taste, touch, aroma, the view of colors, come into play. I love thinking that this activity will generate something pleasant in my family or my friends. It's a way of telling everyone: I care, I want you to enjoy the food, I want to choose healthy food and I want this to be a time to share a taste, a taste, a talk, a meal and that my food is nutritious for you .

While I cook I concentrate on what I am doing. I am in the here and now. Time does not exist That moment has a great sense for me. I enjoy it. I use all my creativity to reach others. For me it is an art. I remember when I was younger I was more worried about the lack of time between work, the house, the kids.

The kitchen and the food fills my life and every day, of tranquility and joy, when I bring a meal to my family or a sweet and my children kiss me and tell me how rich, in that moment I feel happy and happy I complied I hope you like my work, when I want to share recipes which I have many.

Generally the word roti is used to refer to different types of bread, such as chapati and phulka, each with its specific name.
