Eat Healthy or Delicious ....or Both at same time..

(part 1)

As many of you ...i always wonder "how to cook healthy food ... with good taste?".
but after wasting my enough time (and money) perhaps now i've little experience to share with you folks.
like healthy food (or cooking) and Deliciousness are both same thing .....really no wonder.

 So Today we'll discuss the importance of food (delicious and healthy one) in our lives. 

 Basic things First .... you've to retain the basic Aroma and Qualities of your food.
absolutely spices, sauces and other flavourings have their own aromas and qualities and sometime times their mingling with other items makes your dish awesome but it's not a ever blooming story......

  2nd thing....  always Cook gently ..i mean do not wrestler like "John Cena and Randy Orton" with your innocent Wok.... LOL ...i wanna say ....don't ever cook in hostile conditions like: Full flame and Stir on Stir ....

  3rd ....don't follow your recipe book as "Holy Book" .....try to create some thing innovative but at least know..what's you're doing... i mean don't every mix vinegar in your shake ....otherwise the shake'll shake you.... try it if you don't believe .....LOL

 Number 4......always use fresh products in your food ..... at least you can grow your own veges in your backyard... and than feel the difference between market and home veges...that will ensure you...what is you're eating and feeding your family.

it was the basic cooking wisdom from me....may you like it....like it or not please comment below...
Take care and Cya.
