RE: Soda Bread - Maverick Style
Funny story, I actually ate bicarb of soda by accident when I was younger because I thought it was a sweet powder. I coughed it out and lost my taste for 2 days. Hmm.. turns out it wasn't a funny story after all.
Ahh! I see! It's one of the joys I find in cooking. Taken separately, the ingredients tastes different than when they're combined. You really know your way around the kitchen. Are you, by chance, a professional chef?
When a bunch of us were kids we dared each other to try the smalles bit of it on a teaspoon. Yeek. I still remember the horrifying sensation that it gave me!
Haha, thats quite the compliment!! No, not in the slightest. I watched lot of cooking shows on tv over the last few years since my daughter was born out of sheer exhaustion! That was pretty much it! Then a bit of practice and it all sort of makes sense
Oh, wow! I didn't know you were a fellow student of the school of Culinary TV. Obviously, you have gone much further than I have :D My family always asks me what I get out of watching cooking shows when I don't even cook daily. I always tell them that this is all research and, given a whisk or a spatula, I could whip up a wide array of food at a snap of a finger haha
Admittedly, I think practice is what I lack. Time to put my reps in so I could be just like you! Give me 3-5 years and I might be able to catch up to where you are presently haha
Lol, Give it a month or so maybe! I will be kind to myself and say a couple of months!
It does give you a lot of knowledge so that when you make something you know some of the pitfalls to avoid!
Yeah, definitely! Have you watched Iron Chef? The Japanese version of that show really got me into cooking. I guess you could say it was my gateway to the culinary arts. Nowadays, I imagine myself as a contestant in Cutthroat Kitchen whenever I cook to keep me on my toes. It stresses the people around me though haha!
I have seen the British version. I understand the other versions that are out there are much better. I did like it. Over here we are big masterchef fans!
I don't think I would fancy being a contestant in any of them. It's intense and usually very serious! The opposite of me!
Oh, Masterchef! Yes, I'm a big fan of that as well :D Though, I much prefer the kids version for some reason. Even if their half my size, their much more better cooks than I am!
Yeah haha I'd bet. I much prefer your laid back style of cooking. I don't respond well to high pressure scenarios. I prefer just having fun while you're cooking
