Cooking: a nice hobby - Part II -





I like cooking very much. Cooking is like a nice game for me. I can playing with any cookware and raw food that I want. Cooking is started by preparing material and tools, and certainly method. This method means which cooking technique will we use. For exemple; boiling, frying, steaming or grilling. After anythings was prepared well, it has been continued by cooking itself. The final of cooking is the cooked food. If this game (cooking) is finished, it means that the raw food has been cooked; welldone. This game (cooking) involve our emosion and our feeling. A good mood will result nice cooked food and sometime a bad cooked food make us being unhappy. Never care it is a nice or bad result; people have cooking as their hobby, they will do cooking anymore because it is like a game. I have friends who like cooking so much. We named we named us as “nani kore”. We cook anything in our kitchen everyday even our cooks is not as well as the others.
I like cooking very much. It has so may challanges. In this case, our ability is challanged to create a good food. What are the challanges of cooking? I try to define what they are:
     1.       Tenacity (keuletan)
     2.       Patience (kesabaran)
     3.       Skill (keterampilan)
     4.       Creativity (kekreatifan)
     5.       Science of cooking (ilmu memasak)
     6.       Habituation (pembiasaan diri)
Why does we need thoose six points? It does not mean that cooking is complicated. Actually those are simple one. It depends on our nature. A person does not have any of them, can do cooking but just do it, does not doing well. It is different with another person that have tenancity, patience, skill and others. A good cooking must have cover them and a good cooking can to produce a nice result. That challanges make us try hard to overcome them. If we are successfully beat them, we will be happy. There is a pride in cooking.
I like cooking very much. It is one of an honour of women. Indonesian, especially javanese people believe that a good wife is expert in cooking. It is a common statement that survived until today. Many people looking for a wife who is able to cook. Why? Because their wife’s cuisine (cooking) is a special gift for them. It has different taste with the restaurant cuisine. And cooking is a pride of wife in front of their husband. One day a wife preserve a chicken soup for her husband and he said, “wow... what a delisious soup. I love it, my dear”. What do you think about wife’s respon? I think she will smile, being so happy because she proud of her self.
Well, I think one of you does not agree with my statement; cooking is a pride of women. I know that nowadays, there are so many career women so that might be they are so bussy and does not have time for cooking. Then, is it means that they do not have a pride? No, I do not say that cooking is only a pride of women; just one of them. So, every wowen, every wife has their own honour, their own pride, their own something special for her husband. So, it is ok if she can not cook for her familiy. But, I think it is better if she does.
There are so many sweet stories of cooking. Do you have your own story? Please feel free to share it ^_^
