The Secret Ingredient

More than a year since I wrote. And there is only one thing which has made me sit up and write- FOOD! What makes an excellent cook?

To give some back ground. I absolutely detest cooking. And I thank my stars that my fiance (yes I am getting married in a couple of months but that is another story) is hands down an expert in this. I have been trying to find some logic as to why he is so good and why I struggle (not that I cant cook well but it taked too much effort on my part).

Here's my hypothesis. He is not scared of experimenting. He thinks there is no logic to it, flow with it and his secret ingredient- add anything and everything in everything. In stark contrast, I calculate everything- the water, the salt even the time it should be left on stove. I go with the secure way- find a recipe and follow it to death.

Even though I know his is the easier and more delicious way, I guess I will still play safely
