We spend a lot of time in the kitchen, from the morning coffee and breakfast, all the way up to feeding our loved ones and having dinner together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When so much time is spent in the kitchen, I know for me at least, that I start to feel like I\u2019m going a bit crazy, especially when I\u2019m always using all the same tools and cooking the same dishes up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I personally dove in to find different ways to enjoy the kitchen, coming from an oriental background, food is in my blood and my mother is a great cook that works for her kitchen. So I had to do it, given the amount of time spent there, in order to enjoy it fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve listed some ways you can start enjoying your time in the kitchen, and hopefully, it gives you some creative ideas to work on something amazing for your loved ones while you\u2019re there. Check out the list below, and let me know what you think:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re like me, living in an apartment, your kitchen is probably cluttered with pots and pans all over the place, with it starting to look like you\u2019re playing with legos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the best things you can do to free up space and reduce that anger when you\u2019re looking for something is to get some wall shelves. These shelves can free up space from all your pots and pans that usually take all of the cupboard space!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s alright to splurge every now and then on fun, family food. This food usually isn\u2019t the best for our diets, but heck it puts a small on everyone\u2019s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting fun items, such as pancake dispensers or tortilla presses gives everyone the chance to have fun in the kitchen, even if you have kids (Under the supervision of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trust me, this one does wonders. The relaxation of using a very sharp knife to cut through something though very tough and it works flawlessly is an amazing feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I typically tend to use Japanese knives as they\u2019re usually a lot sharper however they are also more based on products such as fish (For sushi and so on) although they\u2019re a great choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you have a great meal you\u2019ve just whipped up for the family, sometimes they will be ravaging through it without saying much. This is fine, you\u2019re usually happy with seeing everyone happy and full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you took time in the presentation, you could take a photo of your meal that you could share with your friends, or create a collection. Later on, you could go through this album and see all the amazing work you\u2019ve done. The people that you\u2019re cooking for, will likely also appreciate the presentation and comment on your work. It\u2019s a great small thing you can do to increase your self-confidence in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are just some small ideas that you can take on board, to start enjoying the cooking process more, and to start respecting your kitchen more. After a few months, you could be enjoying the process so much and beginning your Michelin star journey. Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
