I've recently started ...Shelby this is great! <br /><br />I've recently started cooking regularly myself and I have to admit I have the equivalent of acute tone deafness when it comes to understanding the interplay between flavours. For example, I have now learned the hard way that tandoori and soy sauce are two flavours that should never meet one another, especially in large quantity within a veggie and tuna stirfry. That experience was a setback for sure but I didn't want to give up or stop experimenting. SO. Last night I mixed a number of specialty spices in my stirfry and swapped the tandoori for butter chicken (and used chicken instead of tuna). It was officially the first meal I've ever been really proud of! I even managed to add nuance and character with ingredients like avocado and steamed brussle sprouts. The point, I think, is that I now see that cooking can be greatly rewarding.<br /><br />In fact, I can now appreciate that it is really an artform. In reading some of my favourite philosopher, Daniel Dennett, I discovered a great food blog post that he selected to be in the top three of a philosophy blog competition. It argues that cooking should be officially classified as one of the arts!<br /><br />http://www.3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2009/03/penne-for-your-thought.html<br /><br />Looking forward to reading more!W.
