A Collection of My Favorite Recipes |
 Some of my most precious memories are triggered by the simple process of cooking. In addition to the spiritual fulfillment provided by cooking, it is amazing how the aroma of my favorite dishes can remind me of my carefree days growing up as a child who loved home cooked meals. This collection of my favorite recipes includes traditional and novel dishes that have been passed down to me by my mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, and other family members of previous generations.
Ever since I was a child, I have loved food and cooking. I was first introduced to cooking by my mother and grandmother, who showed me how cooking our favorite recipes could bring our family together. From the trips to the grocery to shop for the ingredients required for our favorite dishes, to the preparation of the food itself, I followed in the footsteps of my mother and grandmother and have enjoyed the art of cooking ever since I was a teenager. Food nourishes the family not only physically, but also spiritually, and serves as a mechanism to strengthen family relationships through sharing of dishes and conversation.
Among the many enjoyable aspects of cooking is the constant opportunity for learning. Even the most inexperienced person can learn how to cook, as there is a plethora of easy recipes designed for novice cooks. Additionally, cooking is an interesting pastime because there can be such variation in food preparation from country to country. People who are interested in learning more about how to emmulate the cooking techniques and secrets can choose to take part in a variety of live or online international cooking classes such as the Australian cooking courses.
In addition to being educational and spiritually fulfilling, cooking is fully of excitement. You could follow a different cooking recipe for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of your life and never eat the same exact dish twice. The amount of recipes available to the public is endless. This collection of my favorite recipes contains treasured dishes that I look forward to passing down to future generations as a part of our family history project. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do! |

Travellers with discerning palates are learning how to use our local produce to whip up gourmet feasts...
We’ve been talking up “Modern Australian” to the rest of the world for
years, throwing prawns (or shrimp) on the barbie, kissing barramundi
and waving our fresh local produce under jealous international noses.
But do we really know what we’re doing when it comes to cooking? Of
course we do and, we can teach you too.
We have some of the world’s best food, best restaurants and most
innovative chefs, and they can teach you our brand of mod Oz, Asian
fusion, Mediterr-asian - or just how to cook a fish on the barbie.
Australia is a gourmet wonderland, a melting pot of cuisines from
all over the world and a multi-cultural feast for gourmands. Cookery
schools are a great way to learn about our produce and our many and
varied cuisines. This is your chance to get hands on. A cooking class
with a professional chef is worth more than a wall full of cookbooks,
so take the opportunity to refine your skills under the tutelage of some
of our finest chefs.
A cooking-school holiday will add an unforgettable dimension to
an Australian experience. You’ll meet a terrific mix of people: men,
women, locals straight from work, interstate visitors who want
to make a day of it, and others who’ve flown in from overseas and
planned their entire trip around a cooking school program.
Classes range from one hour to all day, all the way to residential on-site
cooking seminars and are usually led by a food expert, cookbook author
or well known celebrity chef. They may take place in a city restaurant, a
chef’s home or an exquisite country location with a stunning backdrop
and invariably feature a demonstration or hands on instruction, and
almost always the chance to sample the food and wine at the end.
Watch how a dish is prepared, then try your hand at recreating it.
A residential course over an entire weekend allows you to gain insight
into how leading chefs think, work, create and develop recipes. Learn
their secrets, hear their stories, be inspired by their winning techniques
and signature cuisines. All you need bring is your enthusiasm and
curiosity about fine cooking. Classes suit anyone with a passion for
cooking, be they amateur, professional, or a beginner.
You’ll be sure to have fun in a convivial environment. And, after you’ve
slaved away over a hot stove, you get to enjoy the fruits of your labour
by tucking into a feast with the rest of your classmates. So, strap on
your apron, sharpen your knives and roll up those sleeves… the class on
how to cook great Aussie food is about to begin. (media.australia) |
