Steem Engagement Challenge S7-W4: The secret of my seasoning.

However, I believe I have the spice to prepare the food. I have learned from my mother different spices and herbs that add flavor to dishes. I also enjoy experimenting with different spices to find the perfect combination for each dish.

When it comes to cooking, I'm still new and have a lot to learn. But, I'm eager to hone my skills and become more confident in the kitchen. I think cooking is an art that requires patience, creativity and practice. It's also a way to bring people together and bond over a shared love of good food.

On the other hand, if I lack spice or don't like to cook, I have the option of ordering food from a restaurant or buying pre-made food at the grocery store. This can be a convenient solution for those who are short on time or have limited cooking skills.

In the end, whether we have the spices to prepare the food or not, the most important thing is to enjoy the experience of cooking or eating. Whether it's trying new recipes, experimenting with different ingredients, or simply enjoying a well-prepared dish, food is a source of joy and fulfillment for many of us.

I think my real passion for cooking came when I started living on my own. When I left home for college, I realized that if I wanted to eat healthy and delicious food, I had to learn to cook. So, I started by researching recipes online and watching cooking shows on TV. He was fascinated by the different techniques and ingredients the chefs used, and determined to learn as much as he could.

Over time, I became more confident in the kitchen and started using my own recipes. I was always eager to try new ingredients and flavors and was often surprised at how well they worked together.

I also had the opportunity to learn from my friends who were experienced cooks. They showed me new ways of cooking and shared their favorite recipes with me. I was forever grateful for his guidance and support, and I learned a lot from his example.

In the end, I learned to cook through a combination of research, experience, and guidance from others. I'm still learning new things every day and I'm always looking forward to trying new recipes and ingredients. Cooking has become a passion for me and I enjoy sharing my passion for food with others. Whether cooking for my family, friends, or just myself, I really enjoy the process of preparing and serving delicious meals.

Seasoning can be considered a combination of innate, inherited, and learned factors. Some people may have an innate sense of taste and an innate ability to associate certain flavors and spices, while others may have learned these skills through experience and exposure. In many cases, cultural and family influences can also play a role in shaping a person's palate and culinary preferences.

From a scientific perspective, taste perception is influenced by genetics and individual differences in taste receptors and brain chemistry. However, it is widely recognized that the sense of taste can also be trained and developed through exposure to different flavors and foods over time.

In the field of culinary arts, formal training and education can also play a role in developing a person's culinary skills. Professional chefs and culinary students study the use of spices, herbs, and other spices in great detail, learning about flavor combinations and the chemical reactions that occur during cooking.

Finally, seasoning is a complex combination of inborn, inherited, and learned factors. While some people may have a natural talent for cooking, it can also be developed and improved through experience, exposure, and formal education.

The specific spices that should not be missing from a meal can vary greatly depending on personal taste and cultural preferences. However, some commonly used spices that can add great flavor to food include:

Salt: Used to enhance the natural flavors of foods and balance other flavors.

Black Pepper - An important spice that adds heat and depth of flavor to dishes.

Garlic – Used to add depth of flavor and aroma to savory dishes.

Onions - Add a sweet and savory flavor to a variety of dishes and are also a common base for many sauces and soups.

Soy Sauce - Adds a rich, savory flavor to Asian dishes.

Vinegar - Used to add flavor and acidity to dishes, and is also commonly used as a condiment in dressings and sauces.

Olive Oil: Used as a base for dressings and marinades and for cooking and frying.

Herbs—such as basil, rosemary, and thyme—can add fresh, aromatic flavors to a variety of dishes.

These are just a few of the many spices that can enhance the flavor of food. The key is to find a balance between the flavors and not overpower the natural flavor of the ingredients. With the right seasoning, a simple dish can be transformed into something truly delicious.
