If you've seen Ratatouille, you know how much of a chef Remy is. Without giving away any spoilers, I'll say I have thought of him every now and then when it comes to my cooking skills.
While I'm best friends with my food apps, over the past few months I may have ditched the quick ordering and started to cook and bake actual food that tasted great all from home.
1.I decided it was time for me to conquer the kitchen and really hone in on my food skills.
2.I quickly realized this required me to learn actual measurements, like how many tablespoons go for each desired recipe...
3.Starting at the strike of 8 a.m., I woke up every day ready to conquer the kitchen.
4.Each day became a personal mission to out-cook myself.
5.And eventually, I decided to become a great food stylist.
6.I decided to add a pinch of salt. And by a pinch, I mean:
7.Coconut cream, coconut milk, and EVOO became my best friend.
8.Food tutorials filled the majority of my screen time.
9.I decided to really go in and freshen up on my chopping skills...
10....and bought new dinnerware for those Instagram-worthy photos.
11.All while remembering to wash my hands for 30 seconds to make sure I did my part in stopping the spread.
12.I decided to get real brave and started adding every seasoning I could think of to each cooking dish.
13.All while deciding to try eating as much food as I could cook, even if it didn't taste so great.
14.I felt on top of the world and thought I was onto something once it started to smell real good in the kitchen.
15.After all that cooking, I may have decided to tackle the biggest food challenge that was on everyone's news feed: sourdough bread.
16.In the end, even if each recipe didn't end well, I at least did the best I could in challenging myself, given our new circumstance.
