About

Welcome to my world of cooking :)

We need to eat every day. I like to eat varied, preferably not-so-unhealthy food. This means lots of home-cooking and learning to use different techniques and ingredients. But I don't feel like cooking every day, or want to think of food and cooking every day. That means cooking from what was left yesterday, or thinking about what to cook after already in the grocery, or looking in the cupboards to see what's sitting in there and is almost learning to walk and eat it before that.

All this has lead me to cook in different styles. Sometimes I meticulously follow a recipe which someone else has made. More frequently I'm varying recipes and composing one from many depending on what I have or what I want to achieve. Mostly my cooking is working everything out as I go. This is why the most popular .. err .. most common dish in our household is: Sörsseli á la Cook. Which is an accidentally tasty dish.

Most of the recipes are truly recipes. There are certain ingredients and amounts of them and certain method, from which it is not desirable to deviate. Or if you do, you'd better know what you are doing.

I decided to start to document how things in my kitchen usually goes, too. There are posts in which I tell what I did and how to make something similar. In those, umh, accidental recipes, there might be only approximate amounts, or methods, or ingredients mentioned. Recipes may have two sets of instructions telling essentially same things. One method is described loosely as some people have a lot knowledge or temper ;) or it just is not that important to define exactly what-when-how to make the dish work. I'll write down the objective which was in my mind to get close result. The other method set is more instructive. I'll tag these sketchy recipe posts as "accident", so you'll know what to expect :)

I hope that someone gets hints and new perspectives to their living :) Good and tasty is not necessarily difficult and straining.
