I always thought of myself as a good allround cook.
Apart from learning by looking at what my Mother and grandmother used to do, I also spent a few years in Catering college and most of my life in the Hospitality Industry, running and cooking in restaurants, hotels and outside catering.

Jet has the incredible knack in copying me and improve on what I have been doing in the kitchen, but also to improvise and create the most delicate and tasty recipes.

Recently we attended Judith's and Shawn wedding, and one of the many things that impressed my wife was the superb dessert served at the reception, a "Chocolate fondant" .....
She found a recipe online and managed to re-create it perfectly at the second attempt. I am still licking my fingers.......:D
Apart from that, lately she has been baking superb apple and banana cakes, again just by following online recipes.
But this is not all, whatever she puts her hand at, it comes out absolutely perfect.

I am piling the weight on, as she is using us as laboratory rats for her cooking experiments and if I must pass on, I will die a happy man indeed....:D

I feel humbled really, I have now conceded in the kitchen where once I ruled as master.:ARsurrender:

Jet Happy Easter,
Mahal na mahal Kita asawa ko.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

I can relate to that Dom

Although not a master chef, I could turn out a few dishes that folks around me liked. Pia always told me that she would try to learn sme dishes but was not a good cook. Her family even joked that i'd send her back once I realised what her cooking was like.

Pia has totally amazed me. She is an excellent cook and her carrot cake is a sort after delicacy among our friends, to the extent that she has satrted cooking more than 1 and in large containers also. Now we have been invitated to share a catering stand at the Yorkshire Barrio Fiesta. Asawa ko is full of surprises.

Well done Pia!
I kind of relate to her story... lol
Back home: I hated cooking. I hated long preparations. I hated slicing vegies, chopping meats etc hehe, not to mention the cleaning, washing & putting away all used utensils...
But don't get me wrong I know the basics hehe :rolleyes:
My motto was "Fools prepare, wise men eat!" :xxgrinning--00xx3: Let others do it for you... hehe:Erm:

Until I came here...
I starved hahahaha...:furious3::furious3::yikes::icon_lol:
Now I am loving it! Especially if someone will ask for 2nd helpings :xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3: It's brill!

My motto now:
Don't starve yourself & be not lazy... COOK! :D
