Cooking, I love to cook!!! Believe it or not it’s up to you!!! I wanted to improve my culinary skills so I cooked lunch for myself whenever I’m free.

The first dish that I’ve cooked during the holidays was Roasted Beef With Paprika. It’s a bit spicy and yet a bit sweet from the sweetness of the onions. The part that needs improving was the side dish that is the stir-fried mushrooms braised in chinese cooking wine topped with BBQ sauce. Overall, the beef was good but it’s sad to say that the side dish didn’t really go that well with the beef. The presentation wasn’t that good either. I’ll give it a 6 1/2 for taste, 7 for creativity and 6 1/2 for presentation over 10. Hahaha!!! The side dish needs a little bit of perking up.
The next dish is pretty simple but yet quite complex. The easy part was frying the chicken nuggets, crab filaments and sausage which were then glazed with honey. Well, the more creative part of the dish was the potato and egg. The egg was scramble with onions, garlic and butter with a tad bit of pepper and salt, the only thing that was missing was MILK. I believe that the best part of this dish was the potato which was braised slowly in chicken stock and rosemary and topped with black pepper. Overall ratings, 7 1/2 for taste, 6 for creativity and presentation. Yummy!!!
