So I'm trying to learn to cook better, so by the time I leave the nest, I can actually make some nice meals rather than simply feeding myself in survival mode. It would be nice to be able to cook for people confidently and perhaps host a dinner party. Will be starting very simple with one new recipe a week. First recipe is shakshouka.
The recipe called for tomato paste. My mum is vehemently against tomato paste. My grandma puts it on everything. Debate ensues. I will be following the recipe.
You're the cook. ๐
