I was alone again today. What better could I think to engage
myself in something I enjoy? Yes! Cooking has been my passion out of work. No
one who cooks, cooks alone. In the kitchen, I am surrounded by generations of
cooks past, mother’s advice and menus of cooks present, the wisdom of cookbook
writers.
The more experiments you
make, the better food.
When cooking, go by your own taste. So I came up with a unique recipe combining sprouts, eggs and some leafy vegetables. Considering the healthy benefits, I just mixed them and cooked for my lunch which turned out amazing.
