It's amazing how we learn something new every day. I believe that in six weeks, my kitchen will have seen a variety of dishes from around the world.
I'm really fond of this sauce; it smells wonderful and tastes so different from what I'm used to. After following the teacher's lesson, I've completed my practical work, and here it is...
1- Have you ever tried any Mexican food? Is there any resembles of their food with your local cuisine?(2 points) |

I have to admit, I haven't really tried any authentic Mexican food. It never occurred to me to see what their dishes taste like. I've mostly focused on the food from my own country, but I'm starting to feel excited about exploring dishes from around the world.
Looking at the sauce I made today, I notice it has some similarities to my usual stew sauce. The main difference is in the spices and the way it's cooked.
Mexican white rice is usually made with garlic and onions, while ours is just seasoned with salt. This shows how different our dishes can be, but I think there are some similarities between my country's food and Mexican cuisine.
2- Which flavour or spice do you like from Mexico cuisine ?(1point) |

I really enjoy paprika and cumin powders. They have a wonderful smell and taste great. When I went to buy them, the woman suggested I try some, saying I would love it. She recommended getting a lot for my cooking.
These spices add a unique aroma to my dishes. While I was making my sauce today, the smell filled the whole kitchen. It reminded me of how much I missed having good scents while cooking. Plus, they are healthy, so I plan to always keep them on hand for delicious flavors in my meals.

4- Do you face any difficulty during making the recipe?(2points ) |

I had no trouble at all. I found that if you let the tomatoes roast properly, they become soft and easy to peel. If you don’t, peeling them can be a hassle.
Making the sauce was quick and simple, but I did miss one spice (Cayenne). I couldn't find it, so I used other spices instead.
