One of the things that I really need to work on is learning how to cook better. I am just not a natural cook. Even when I follow a recipe, things often turn out only “okay”. I rarely make food that comes out tasting delicious. Despite this, I prefer to cook at home than to dine out because it costs less and it tends to be healthier if you know what you’re doing. Because of this, I think that I should learn to cook a little bit better.

Rice is something that I’m learning how to make better. I don’t know what my problem is but I can never really make rice that tastes great. I often make it too tough or too tender. I’m thinking that a rice cooker would help with this problem so I’ll probably invest in one in the near future. I’ve learned over time that having the right tools in the kitchen makes a big different to good cooking.

I’m also thinking that it would be a good idea to explore different types of rice recipes. For example I was just reading about some different Irish Rice recipes. Most of them include ingredients that don’t appeal to me (like canned cream of mushroom soup) but I found one that has fresh ingredients that sounds pretty good. I’ll have to see if I can actually make it taste right in my own kitchen!

If you’ve got any good rice recipes then send them my way!
