Craze for cooking

I borrowed 8 books on cooking from the library and boy, were they interesting. I perused them alongside recording some favoured recipes in my new recipe book. I had gotten the idea of starting one from Nigella Lawson who collates family recipes.

The books were on chicken dishes, Turkish food, easy dishes, Kylie Kwong's recipes, Buckingham Palace's food and recipes from the literary world.

Now I source for recipes that feature healthy and accessible ingredients, taking into account the fact that some cater to the non-local palate. I also choose those that I think my friends will like, since they are my guinea pigs almost all of the time. Heehee.

I am cooking 3 types of appetizers for a dinner party and hope all goes well. They are: Nigella's Salt and Pepper Squid, Ham-wrapped Pineapples and Minced Prawn wrapped in Bacon. It is rather daunting because the party consists of the family of my friends as well. I really hope they won't find my food tasteless or horrible.
