if you want to be a professional chef and work in a professional kitchen by all means go to culinary school and get your certificate. but if it's passion for cooking your talking about you can do it at home. experiment on a lot of ingredients, eat out watch the food network. it is very important that you expose yourself to diverse ingredients and taste. a good cook is somebody who's able to taste different combinations of ingredients in his mind.

i like cooking, i love cooking. i learned it from watching my mom and next thing you know, with out ever being taught how to, i can cook anything i want to cook (making sure complete tanan gamit)
tips:
for starters:when cooking,it doesnt mean it should be the exact taste if your copying from a recipe, it would really matter how YOU TASTE your food, it will tell your eaters what type of cook you are, after get feedback and learn from what they think of what you cook, assess and if you research alot, you'll know where will you be best, this proved somnething for me, now i can serve any pasta and chinese dishes anytime i want and all at most, my guest loves it.

substitute: never substitute a margarine when the recipe calls for a butter, it is very different. research and you'll see. not all ingredients are present in grocery stores, if it calls for a certain herb that you cant find, try to ommit because you may get the worse if you think you can add a different herb. goes to most of ingredients that calls for less amounts. but if it is tha main ingredients , then you really need to find the most compatible, get cookbooks so you can learn which can be compatible with which.

really the best way is to think before you cook, make sure you diverse your self in alot of dishes and always when eating outside, learn to identify and taste, you may not be a food critique but criticizing food you eat out can help you personally. in the end you can make a similar dish that is perfect to your tastebuds, and its upto your eaters how they react, they are the best teachers. as in!

what you can do is fillet it first, take out the scales of courses. if you don't know how to do this have it done in the market. keep the head and the bone intact you will use it too. since you said it's a round fish I assume the meat is quite thick, try to take out the bones. yes you can steam it or you can also poach it in oil or water or bake. try this......... to be continued, mag bike lang ako

if you steam or poach the fish you can simply pair it with a dipping sauce. you can also spread some hollandaise sauce on it a top it with some chopped carrots, hard boiled eggs and pickles. oh btw you can also deep fry the head and the bones. just drizzle it with seasoned flour and serve it together with you steam fish to add a crunchy texture.

try this. deep fry the fish but before you do that make slanting slices in the meat. drizzle it with seasoned flour then fry. this will make the meat of the fish pop out creating some kind of a wing or butterfly. for the sauce, chop up some semi green tomatoes, cilantro, onion leaves, cucumber and ripe mangoes. squeeze a little lime on it and mix. you can do this ahead and chill it. add the salt just before serving because if you add it earlier it will make your salsa watery. this salsa will go on top of your fried fish. this is guaranteed lam-i

take out the scales first then hold the tail with a cloth and just start filleting from the tail towards the head.

unsaon pagbuhat pasta from scratch?

unsaon pagbuhat pasta from scratch?

1 cup all purpose flour 2 eggs beaten, 1 tbsp oil and salt. if you want it to be authentic add 2 tbsp semolina flour you can buy this at healthy options. make a hole on your flour in the middle just like how you would mix cement. put all your wet ingredients in the center and cover with the flour from the sides a little a a time then need to make a dough.

this is good to experience it but unless you have a pasta maker why not just buy processed pasta
