I have always been fascinated by the art of cooking, and it all started when I first saw Gordon Ramsay on television. His skills in the kitchen were simply mesmerizing, and I knew right then and there that I wanted to be able to cook like him. Since then, I have always dreamed of being able to cook for someone special. That someone special ended up being my wife, and now that we are married and have our own home, I finally have the opportunity to put my culinary skills to the test.
I have always wanted to break the norm of only women being the ones responsible for cooking in the household. I believe that cooking should not be limited by gender, and that anyone should be able to enjoy the art of creating delicious meals for those they love.
Before we moved out of my wife's parents' house, I didn't have many chances to cook for her. It wasn't that I didn't want to, it was just that we didn't have the space or the resources to do so. But now that we have our own place, I have the freedom to do my own thing in the kitchen.
Since moving into our new home, I have had the opportunity to cook several dishes for my wife, and I have loved every moment of it. One dish that I am particularly proud of is the nilagang baboy, which is a Filipino stew made with pork and vegetables. I have been working on mastering this dish for some time now, and I was thrilled when my wife said she really enjoyed it.
I always try to improve my skills in life or try to learn a new one, and with cooking, I am constantly trying out new recipes and techniques. My wife has been extremely supportive of my passion for cooking, and she always looks forward to trying out my latest creations or imitations.
Cooking for someone you love is a special feeling, and it's something that I have always wanted to do. I am excited to continue sharing my cooking adventures with others, and I hope to be able to inspire others to pursue their own culinary passions or hobbies. By sharing my experiences and recipes on this Hive blockchain, I am hoping to create a permanent record of my cooking journey that will never be erased.
