It's interesting to me to witness your cooking planning process, I come from a long line of eyeballing cooks 😂😂😂 with my father being incredibly artful at creating delicious meals, breads or pizzas (even wine) with no recipes at all. Why the need to follow a recipe? If it is for inspiration purposes, great! In any case, I do applaud the choice of spices you got, that sounded like first class cuisine!!! Loved that dish with the spinach!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You definitely had an advantage growing up with people who actually enjoyed cooking🍽🍴🍜🍕 I didn't have an interest in learning how until I came back from living in Italy and understood that preparing food could be more than a chore, it could be an endlessly fascinating life skill, hobby and eventual health saver. As I gained in confidence, I relied less and less on following other people's recipes to the letter -- they are often wrong, and often wtf? 🤔 -- and now I use them as possibility references. The tofu was entirely eyeballed, and I'm just lucky my non-stick skillet does a great job of crisping, cuz it certainly could have gone the way of horrible soggy tofu. The chicken parm steps helped me not add things in the wrong order, which can be disastrous. 🤣🤣🤣 If I'm not mistaken, you could even eat that!
@knowmadyourownnomad8194 UGH!!! I have to take your word for the fact the chicken was excellent!!! Indeed you know me well!!! 🤣🤣🤣 True, the Italian blood and their tradition of cooking for pleasure is alive and kicking, even inventing new dishes carries such huge satisfaction that it obviously creates is own pheromones!!! I think it's the best way to explain it! But Italy is calling you!!!!!!!! 🤣🥰 🇮🇹
Looks delicious - well done!!
Thank you!
