久しぶりにキッチンに立って料理をしました。変に新鮮さを感じた~。料理って不思議ですよね、何かすごくリラックスさせてくれます(時間に追われてなければ 笑)。時間に追われてない時のクッキングって普通の時との楽しみ方が違うんですよね、ちょっとしたことだけにでも幸せを感じられるって感じかな?笑 例えば、ニンニクを炒める匂いとか、炒めてる時の音にうっとりすること。インゲンを茹でてきれいな緑に変わるとき、海老をソテーしてるときの色の変わり方とかって何か幸せを感じます。生の素材から色々、変化していく素材に喜びを感じたりするって変なのかもしれないけど僕はそうゆうのを料理してるとき感じますね。一種のtherapyになってるのかも。笑 今回は、南瓜のスープ、夏の海老サラダ、ポークソテーのシャロットと赤ワインソース、デザートにはスモモをグリルしたものをバニラアイスクリームをサーブしたものを作りました。レシピーはめんどくさいので載せません!ごめんなさい!でもおおざっぱに作り方を紹介します。
It's been a while since I stood in a kitchen to cook a proper meal... It was oddly refreshing and relaxing. Cooking is wonderful, it holds a special power over me. If I'm not pressed for time cooking is absolutely relaxing and soothing. It's a different sort of enjoyment than daily cooking I suppose, if you can understand what I'm saying. lol I take pleasure in the most insignificant things when it comes to cooking... The smell of the garlic roasting in a pan, the sound of something sizzling in a pan. The way the string beans turn bright green when blanched, the turning of colors when sautéing shrimp, I enjoy all those little things, for some reason it puts a smile on my face. All these different ingredients combined together resulting into a fabulous dish is an amazing process. It's sort of like therapy for me. lol Anyways, this Sunday, I made a creamy pumpkin soup, a summer shrimp salad, sautéed pork cutlet with a reduced red wine sauce with shallots and grilled plums with vanilla ice cream for dessert. I won't upload the recipe, but I'll tell you the ingredients... Sorry, I'm lazy...
looks delicious! i haven't properly cooked in a while, either. during the summer, it's too hot to cook. but you have inspired me to do some, maybe . . . it depends on how hot it is!
