Well.. This is something that I have decided to do before I start posting big time on food. (Thats what I hope to do to help myself in the process)
Okay. I have not been made a great cook or with the ability to dish out different items out of my head. Well, I doubt what I can dish out of my head. Anyway.. But I have to cook on a daily basis and with regular, albeit forced training for the last few years since my marriage, I have been able to manage the survival of a minimum of two human beings at any given point of time. And to also note is that, one of the two is quite demanding on the perfection of taste. :) I leave it to you to decide who.. This, I have been able to do, primarily with the existence of the huge blogging community and the numerous videos posted online. I grab it from here and there and tweek it to our family tastes and have survived my tests.
So far so good. But the problem arises when I try to redo the same dish again and my painful memory fails. Of course I keep a record of what I took from where but at the end of the day, when I do decide to cook a particular dish, I see myself exploring all the recipies once again. This has become more complicating with the increasing number of choices. So I have decided to create a catalog of my own so that I can refer to it immediately as and when I need it.
While doing this catalog, I promise to refer back to the website from which I have taken the original recipie or to my friends or family from whom I have learned to cook the particular dish. I am not aware of any particular procedure that I have to follow for this process, but my guess is that when I credit the person from whom I have sourced the recipie, I am doing good, for both of us.
