My original recipes are inspired from childhood and adulthood as you read in my previous post about cooking. If I used recipes from the Food Network, I will give credit by saying "inspired by." The reason being that I do change it up sometimes to suit my taste but I am always inspired by those amazing chefs and cooks on the Food Network and now too, the Cooking Channel.
When I cook I do not usually use measurements so you will notice that I mention dashes, pinches or to taste a
lot. I tried to insert some measurements
depending on the recipes.
I have found that a lot of the
seasonings or spice blends have quite a bit of sodium already included so I
don’t use a lot of added salt.
I do use Kosher salt and freshly
ground pepper (the red, black, green and pink whole peppercorns), as a main
ingredient to all my dishes.
So, I suggest that you experiment
with your spices and find the taste that suits you best. I like things spicy and I add crushed red
pepper flakes for that kick and also some habanero pepper sauce when I want
added heat.
Play with your food and the flavors; there is a whole world of them to
discover making your own repertoire delicious!
My spices that I use in just about everything I cook:
Salt and pepper to taste
Cajun seasoning blend
Sazon by Goya (found in the hispanic aisle)
Paprika
Garlic powder
Dried thyme
I hope you have fun experimenting and trying my recipes. I will try to post one every day! Let me know if you have any questions :)
