Cooking (and eating) is a passion that Matt and I share. We like to cook separately and together. Although, I would have to say almost every meal we make is a collaborative effort. We started cooking together when we were dating. Matt would come over and we would make a meal for ourselves and my roommates. Through almost seven years of marriage our dinner time routine has become pretty solidified. We talk on the phone mid-day and figure out what we want to have. I take whatever meat we will be using out to defrost. If we are missing any ingredients Matt will stop to pick them up on his way home. When he calls to say he is leaving work I start the prep work. He gets home and we switch off cooking and taking care of Kahlan until our meal is ready. I always chop the onions. He always chops the garlic. He is good at thinking on his feet and making things up as he goes and I love following recipes and switching things up from there.
All this to say, we have decided to start choosing a cookbook every month and trying 3 or 4 recipes out of it, about one new recipe a week. Then we will write up a review about it, here, on our blog! We will be reviewing things like:
Ingredients:-how lengthy is the ingredient list?
-how easily can you find the ingredients?
Recipes: -how easy to understand/follow is the recipe?
-how long it takes to cook?
-how complicated is the preparation?
Outcome: -does it come out like it says it will?
-is it what we were expecting it to be?
-does it taste good?
We are thinking this will be something fun for us to do together and are looking forward to this new little adventure :)
