Well I recently became vegetarian about seven months ago. Since I'm Indian-my mum used to make really nice meat curries, I was never a fan of vegetables but now I'm vegetarian and getting a little too chubby for comfort since I'm just packing on the carbs, my mum doesn't know how to cook for me anymore and won't bother trying, and somehow I have a strange feeling I might need to learn to cook one day. When our oven used to work, most of my recipes turned out edible (sometimes) but now all I have is a toaster oven, a grill and a casserole dish that my mum doesn't like me going near. =] Oh and the frying pan, but I'm scared of oil splashing on my face.
My favorite things to cook
Well I think it's more like what I can cook:
1. Packet pasta dishes (I think I'm pretty good at it-it turns out really creamy)
2. Packet cake mixes (Now our normal oven is broken this won't work but like I used to be okay with that too)
3. Toast?
4. 2 Minute Noodles (I use soy sauce and chilli paste so yes I do count as something I cooked!)
5. Boiled and Scrambled eggs...and omlettes (When I used to eat egg)
...No that seems about it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Fish Curry, Chicken Curry, Lamb Curry, Goat Curry...etc.
My cooking triumphs
Look at my favourite things to cook. Oh wait this one I made really nice Cinammon Butter Cake..from a packet.
And like once I made a really nice cheesy omlette..FROM SCRATCH!
And also..I once made like perfect toast with just the right ratio of butter and vegemite. (A+ Cook I am)
My cooking tragedies
NEARLY EVERYTHING.
I tried making hash browns but they wouldn't work in the frying pan so I put them on the grill and they were completely raw and totally gross.
And this one time I tried making scones and like there were raw inside, burnt outside, like hard dough but not cooked.
Other time I "improvised" (I really should never do that) and used 2 minute noodles and added honey, garlic and soy sauce and well lets just not talk about how yuck that was.
Also this other time I used like a cheese sauce for potato and that was gross and gave me a headache from the grossness, I made this mistake again by using a pasta sauce on potato, let's not talk about the many levels of gross for that one also. I just really want to make a nice potato dish cause like once I had some cold potato wedges covered in this sooo yummy sauce and it was yum and the person who made it said they used a packet and I can't find the right packet.
Okay that's about it.
