Since I moved into my new residence for a month, my interest has been extremely high, and I treat people to dinner at home almost every week. As a small white in the kitchen, I began to wear an apron and learn a dish every week. With more times, I feel that cooking is also a practice and an opportunity for growth, depending on how you look at it.

First, practice deliberate exercises

I remember that I used to cook occasionally, almost just according to my mother's memory when cooking, and with the help of my subconscious mind, I didn't know how to master the cooking, nor how much seasoning to add, so it was cooked, so it was not difficult to swallow, but it was really not very delicious. Therefore, you need to practice deliberately.

1. Jump out of the comfort zone. Let go of the immature cooking experience before, cook a dish once a week, and face the menu, only to know that there are many skills in cooking. Of course, you can play freely after you are proficient, but at the beginning of learning to cook, some basic skills can still be practiced deliberately and clearly.

2. Repeat the exercise. After a week, I don't remember how to cook the dishes I learned last week. Now it's time to review and consolidate.

3. Share and give feedback. Thanks to the feedback from my tactful friend, this dish is short of oil, and that fish is bought by mistake. It would be better to add some hot oil before steaming, and cut the onion into pieces, and so on. It's quite a sense of accomplishment to continue the next improvement on the basis of the feedback you get every time.

2. Facing my true self

At first, I was cooking with a show-off mentality. As a woman who never cooks, I felt quite complacent when I invited my friends to my home to surprise me. There is a saying in a forwarded article that "women cook, not to please their husbands and families, but to make life more beautiful." Because cooking itself is an art. " Well, this sentence sounds beautiful, because I especially hate it when people say, Ouch, I can be a good wife and mother every time Po cooks food. I'm not a tool, okay? However, on the other hand, unlike many girlfriends, they really regard cooking as an art and interest, treat it carefully, and try to find out how to cook better food. I just regard cooking as a skill, and I do it as hastily as I usually do. One day, when cooking, I added less oil and continued to add oil directly to the dish. This kind of thing has not been done less, but once, my heart thumped. Is this the way I treat things? So sloppy, so reckless and careless, when I think about it later, it really seems to be true. In my works, although overall, I can always smell a touch of carelessness and coping. Not doing things with your heart. At that time, I really felt wronged for my dishes. So, I will pay attention next time, know and feel myself as much as possible, and see if I can do better.

Third, accept your own imperfections

Do novices cook? Looking at a table of dishes will always have an impulse to make friends, just like a child. Look, I have learned a new skill. Come and praise me. At the beginning, I always received full praise, and I felt a sense of accomplishment. Slowly, with the increase of the number of Po pictures and the increase of dishes, different sounds appeared slowly. This dish is not cooked like this. This fish can't be steamed like this. This dish has to be like this. Who told you that? At the beginning, I was particularly embarrassed and embarrassed. I felt that such a poor work could not show off and tried to defend myself. But with such a voice in your heart, have you started to defend yourself? You are running away from something, so you adjust your mentality and face it bravely. You find that most of your friends are not malicious, but you think too much. Top students from small to large are most afraid of making mistakes and being imperfect in other people's minds, and this moment is an excellent opportunity for me to face myself. So the Po diagram is no longer to show off, but to calm my heart and face my imperfections. No matter what you say or don't say, whether it's good or bad, I still go my own way. This is probably my biggest gain from learning to cook ~

Cooking is really interesting. It's time to buy food ~ I have to treat you to dinner later, hahaha ~
