Excerpt from my cook book. Work in progress. Though I lost the first 40 pages, I'll start again.
TO YOU, MY DEAR BACHELOR
Dear bachelor,
I assure you, this is no set of rules. If there’s anything I know about men, it’s that you guys are somehow allergic to instructions or directions, especially from a woman. So this is not an instruction book, let’s call it suggestions on how to cook better. Just some tips from someone who loves to cook.
Okay, you’re a busy guy and you hardly have time for domestic work. Everything in your kitchen is new and your girl doesn’t live with you. But who says you have to be female or a sous chef in order to cook yourself a good mouth watering dish? Cooking is a survival skill, just as swimming; hunting etc. your ancestors have been doing it for years now since they found fire. Of course, everyone is entitled to give themselves a treat eating out at continental or oriental restaurants, however cooking your own meals gives you a satisfaction that eating out doesn’t, and its inexpensive compared to buying food from Mr. Biggs or the buka around the corner, plus its usually fresher, safer and more hygienic. Moreover, girls love a man who can cook.
If you’re reading this, then it means you’re ready to explore your innate cooking skills. Remember that animated movie- Ratatouille? Anyone can cook, even YOU. Like all arts, you only need some basic training and from then on, it all depends on what you smell, taste or even feel.
Please get a diary to record all your successful experiments.
