Nothing new under the sun
This blog isn’t about original recipes. It’s more about a virtual way to sit at the table together or stand across from each other at the kitchen breakfast bar and share recipes. I love food, and I love, love, love to talk about food and mostly I love to eat food. Good food. I’m not a picky eater either, I promise you!
I would just encourage you to be adventurous and courageous even if you haven’t been exposed to a lot of different ethnic cultures and cuisine because there is so many wonderful, delicious things to enjoy and savor.
At first I worried about sharing recipes here because I didn’t want to “steal” anyone’s recipes. But now I realize a couple things - 1) they probably would and in most cases - are - giving you the recipe. They want you to try their recipe, they want to share the love, so to speak! 2) if anyone tries to convince me that they are sharing a truly original recipe, you’re gonna see me shaking my head and whispering under my breath- “It might be original to you, but I can assure you that it’s either because you simply haven’t come across it yet and truly believe it to be original, or 2) You took the basics of some other recipe and made a mistake or had to substitute ingredients or left them out because you didn’t have them, didn’t like them, wanted to change the nutrient value or eliminate some food for some personal reason.”
There is nothing new under the sun. People have been cooking for a little while now. I’m thinking somewhere down the line, whatever it is that we can one up with has already been tried, on purpose or by accident.
So, take up the recipe, gather your ingredients and give the recipes a shot!! You’ll find some you love and some you hate in the process. You might discover new family favorites.
Lest you be tempted to feel guilty about indulging in the fun of cooking and food preparation - keep in mind that food is at the center of nearly all hospitality. People have to eat. What’s wrong with making it a wonderful experience while you’re at it?
Muah!
