I can't cook and I'm not a gourmet, but when I saw Luo Tian's Daily Cuisine: The Secret of Home Cooking, I was immediately attracted by it. This is a cookbook for home cooking, but it is not just a cookbook, because it has exquisite cooking skills, warm fireworks and a positive attitude towards life.
"Star Chef Arrives" is a food variety show that I chase every year. There was a wonderful competition, but what moved me more was the love of the contestants and the judges and teachers for food. That kind of happiness and seriousness deeply touched me through the TV screen.
The same is true of Snail Girl's Daily Food. Looking at the pictures and simple words of delicious food in the book, we can also feel her pursuit and joy of delicious food. Let me feel that people who like food or cook food must be enthusiastic and tenacious.
Because the kitchen is actually the most dangerous place, people who can make food happily in the kitchen are people who are not afraid of sweating and hard work. Just for the love of food in their hearts and affection for their families, they can endure all kinds of hardships such as high temperature, lampblack and standing for a long time.
"Kitchen in the Garden" is a popular online drama about food this year. I was really hungry and happy when I watched it. Food and emotion are so intertwined. Getting along with my family is as dull as home cooking, and my feelings are warming up in this meal.
"The Star Chef Arrives" and "The Chef with Pot in the Flower Room" both provide specific ingredients, recipes and steps, but they still won't do it after reading it. Then don't worry, "Daily Diet" is a cookbook that can be put at hand at any time. It is full of pictures and texts, detailed in content, concise in language and very practical. It can be called a novice cooking guide and a master upgrade cheat. Fried eggplant with beans, braised mushrooms in oyster sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy crayfish, ribs lotus root soup, cold noodles with shredded chicken ... There is always a dish that surprises you.
Sharp tools can do a good job. In addition to the selection and maintenance skills of pots, knives and chopping boards. Is cold water or hot water used for ironing and bleaching? How to make water eggs smooth and delicate? How to grasp the temperature of waterproof steaming? Common dry goods, such as dried mushrooms, dried seafood, all kinds of dried bamboo shoots, dried miscellaneous grains, and how to soak your hair, are all particular. These are all problems that all kitchens will encounter. Don't underestimate these preparation processes. Doing it well will make the ingredients give full play to their delicious taste. In the book "Daily Diet", Snail Girl explains these kitchen treasures one by one, so that everyone can get started easily after reading them.
When I watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes before, I saw Huang Rong and Hong Qigong say that if the most common ingredients, such as vegetables and tofu, can be cooked well, then the cooking is really superb. I didn't understand it at that time, but I didn't know this sentence was also applicable to cooking until I read several methods written by Miss Luo Tian in the book "Daily Diet" to make vegetarian dishes delicious.
List a few tips in the book:
-How to "raise the pot"
Other pots should also be maintained. In fact, raising pots is to maintain kitchen utensils made of different materials. Snail girl also introduced the maintenance methods of non-stick pot, cast iron pot, copper pot, casserole and clay pot.
-What shape should Chili be cut into when frying meat with Chili?
Is there anything particular about it? Snail girl said of course.
There seems to be a lot of knowledge about cooking. But don't worry, snail girl said, do it slowly, and you will naturally get a mastery of it.

Everyone likes reading articles about food by Wang Zengqi and Cai Lan. I don't think these readers are simply eating food, but more importantly, they may be looking for a better life in the pursuit of food. This yearning is simple but beautiful, which makes us feel a little warm in trivial life.
