Now,
opening welcome posts can be quite tiresome and boring, and that is surely not
what I want this blog to be like. Here are a few facts about the blog: its all
about cooking and food; it is devoted to everyone, but especially to those of
you who have recently started cooking on a regular basis and really do not want
to be stuck in a recipe rut and finally it is all about having fun in the
kitchen!
I am not
one to tell you a story of what made me get into the kitchen and start cooking.
There was no special recipe, no special reason, you are dealing with a girl
that would spend hours in the kitchen with her Barbie doll, sitting on milk cartons and watching her mom cook. The
milk carton was my chair, so I guess you can figure how old I must have been at
the time.
However, as
time went by, I did have to start cooking out of necessity, mostly as a
student. It is very difficult to convince me differently, students usually eat
really bad food! Otherwise, my friends wouldn't always be up for coming over to my house for dinner parties or even lunch. They mostly eat disgusting stuff, when you think about it. That is one thing I
wish to end. I am 25 now but I have never understood the laziness about
cooking. It is very simple, you must eat = make it! Good food can be very quick
and simple and that is really what we need in the modern world.
Moreover,
you are dealing with one stubborn cook here, meaning that, once in a while I will
bring you slightly more complex recipes, just because I refuse to say “that is
difficult to make, I can’t be bothered.”
We will try
and have thematic days, including simple recipes, sweets (who can say no to
them), as well as world days where we will explore different cuisines, keeping
in mind that every cuisine is a world cuisine to someone.
Looking
forward to this new experience and I hope you guys will enjoy reading it and I
will always enjoy reading your comments and answering questions.
First post
with some actual content coming up soon!
Bye, bye

P.S. the
blog will be bilingual in English and Serbian as I never know which one I will
feel like writing in (you will figure out why in time), but I will always make
sure to post final recipes in both languages.
