Cooking was never my strong suit before I joined the work. Like many girls, the only thing I can do is to cook instant noodles. I thought I would be a girl who can only "get out of the hall but not the kitchen" all her life.

Fortunately, however, I met the "snail girl".

Of course, this "snail girl" is not a fairy who sneaked out to cook for the rescuer during the day in fairy tales, but she is also a fairy sister. She is Chen.

She is an elder sister from Hunan and has no professional experience as a chef. Just because she loves cooking, she has become a famous gourmet. She likes and is good at detailed recipes, and believes that those simple, exquisite, but meticulous recipes are the taste of home we want.

Since I visited the bookstore and was attracted by a book with a yellow cover and saw the pictures inside, I, a little white with no cooking experience, fell in love with cooking.

It is no exaggeration to say that this book "Daily Food" opened the door for me to explore the mystery of the kitchen, and I went further and further on the road of cooking.

The reason why I like this book is that it is not only a home-cooked dish, but also a dish that we often eat three times a day, especially for a small white who never cooks.

Not only that, the book "Daily Food" also teaches you the common sense part. I have to say that the author "snail girl" knows the minds of beginners too well. Because when I often search for recipes in Baidu, it says: salt, right amount. Appropriate amount of soy sauce.

What is the appropriate amount? Every time I don't understand it, I look at my mood, so it's either light or salty every time.

However, when snail girl introduces recipes in daily food, she always uses a porcelain spoon, spoon, teaspoon and a handful of such weighing methods. I don't have to face the word "moderate" anymore.

Not only that, the snail girl will also tell you how to raise different pots, how to cut vegetables for novices with bad knives, and how to choose cutting boards. I can't be more intimate. It's like a mother teaching her newly-married daughter to cook.

When I first brought this book back, I couldn't wait to start trying. I thought it was my first time to show off my cooking skills, so I chose a vegetarian dish: hand-torn cabbage.

I thought a simple dish like hand-torn cabbage was just a little oil, salt and chopped green onion, but I don't know why it always tastes worse than the outside. It was not until I followed the tips in "Daily Food" that I realized that every dish had skills in it.

The skill of this dish is to stir-fry with steamed fish and soy sauce. It doesn't matter if there is no steamed fish and soy sauce at home, just use oyster sauce and soy sauce instead.

Unexpectedly, the first attempt to make it tastes great, not only delicious, but also looks good. This is a good start for this novice. I fell in love with the book "Daily Food" from then on, so I was immersed in the world of food.

Later, this "daily food" actually became a family recipe. Every weekend when I have time, I will open this cookbook and try all kinds of dishes.

The most successful is sweet and sour pork ribs. Anyone who has eaten my sweet and sour pork ribs will reach out and praise it, and prove how delicious it is with actions. Every time I eat one, I won't leave it. Until now, sweet and sour pork ribs have become my specialty. Every weekend, my colleagues clamor to come to my house to eat my sweet and sour pork ribs.

In fact, the reason why my sweet and sour pork ribs taste so good is just that I put two kinds of vinegar according to the "Japanese food". Old vinegar is quite sour, and it tastes good only when it is added. If it is about to be cooked, adding balsamic vinegar will increase the flavor of the ribs.

After reading Daily Food, I realized that we were only one step away from the chef.

Because I prefer sweet food, I tried the chicken wings with cola again. The trick of this dish is to boil it in boiling water for 30 seconds. Chicken wings blanched with boiling water will become very tender and smooth. Because the surface of chicken wings is all skin, the chicken skin will be soft like jelly at high temperature, and the taste will be extra points.

I made braised pig's trotters by myself according to the practice of sweet and sour pork ribs, and the effect was particularly good.

Now this "Daily Food" has become a treasure in my hand. With it, I have changed from a small white who can't cook to a girl who "goes to the hall and goes to the kitchen".

This book brings me back to familiar practices, home cooking that I will never get tired of, simple daily eating with my family, and feeling the beauty of daily eating.
