Keep practicing and with time you'll be better if not perfect but if you feel you should then enroll in a catering school. Though I know it takes a lot of practice and patience to become a good cook, its not hard, just give it time. |

since you wanna know how to cook perfectly, join a catering school |

A catering school? For real? @OP, be careful and try to concentrate when u cook(u need it well as u're not an expert). Try to take note of the ingredients when u prepare a particular dish. That way, u'll know what u need to prepare that dish in future. ALWAYS take note of your measurements and steps. Know d quantity of EVRYTHING u put in your food so that u'll know how to make adjustments (if need be) next time. And if the food is perfect to u, then u stick to that recipe. I hope this helps. Good luck |
Re: My Cooking Is Inconsistent. by Nobody: 7:05pm On Dec 30, 2012 |
Thx Chikk, though I do all that and more. I guess 'settling down' would put an end to the recurring decimal. |

Jeez! Fluid, where have you been? |
Re: My Cooking Is Inconsistent. by chikk(f): 9:06pm On Dec 30, 2012 |
fluid26: Thx Chikk, though I do all that and more. I guess 'settling down' would put an end to the recurring decimal. Then settle down if u think its d solution. But bear in mind that ur services might come in handy at a point in ur family, and you all will suffer it if ur culinary skills are below average(at least for a man who's not a caterer). Good luck anyway |

I have the same problem sef. One day my fried eggs taste amazing, and the next day it is awful - even though I believe I used the same ingredients and all. I wonder how some women manage to replicate "excellence" in cooking. I hope there's not more to it than meets the eye. |

How do I rectify this anomaly? What must I do? Help me!...maybe until you can cook perfectly by experience you should follow a recipe - this recipe can be your own. -List all your ingredients -Detail what you added, amounts and in what order -Note the cooking times if it turns out well, this is your recipe, repeat until you can do it by heart. If it doesn't turn out well, then do it again until you get a good recipe you can re-use. Also cooking has a lot to do with 'feel' 'touch' and 'understanding'. Try to think about the ingredients you're adding and what each spice brings to the dish. Will adding curry enhance the flavor? or take away from the natural fish taste? will adding more onions overpower the rest of the dish? etc etc This will help you to be more instinctive when you cook without strictly following a recipe. And practice practice practice, there is no special trick other than that. Goodluck 2 Likes |
