What Are Your Food Decisions for 2018?
Hello and welcome back toWhat’s Cooking? , an open thread where you can share your brilliant thoughts, tips, recipes and opinions on all food related matters. This is a new year, which means people are making all sorts of changes, especially in the kitchen.
I’m not a big fan of traditional resolution, but I like to set one or two goals at the beginning of each year. This usually means learning a new skill, mastering a recipe, or incorporating a new food into my life. Of course, I want to know all about your big culinary plans for 2018 and, as always, I have a few questions.
- Does your New Year’s decision involve eating more vegetables or drinking more water? How do you plan to do this? For years I tried to force myself to drink more water. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
- What dish do you want to learn how to cook perfectly in 2018? I want to get better at baking in general, but I would like to learn how to make really good homemade croissants. I also have a few sous video recipes that I would like to revise and refine.
- Got a fancy kitchen toy for the holidays? What do you want to do with it? I’ve heard that many have Instant Pots. These people should have short ribs .
- What culinary skills do you want to hone in these recent years? My knife skills are not amazing. I want to fix this.
- What explanations or guides would you like to see on Skillet this year? I’m here to help.
- Are you planning to get to know a particular cuisine better? Aside from gumbo, I love Cajun food more than Cajun food, so I am very happy to expand my repertoire.
- What cookbooks do you want to work on? The book of Bravetard is my priority.
- How will you prepare your kitchen for 2018? I’m going to clean out the deep fridge and freezer today, and I’m going to be cleaning my damn oven.
As always, feel free to comment on anything, even indirect, in the comments below. When it comes to food and New Years, I want to hear about it.
