Have you ever wished you could create delicious, healthy, beautiful and foolproof recipes like a professional chef, but always thought that creating a tasty dish from scratch is beyond your skills? Here are some tips that’ll show you just how easy making up a recipe of your own can be.
As you know, there are plenty of recipes on this blog, and they’re all well loved and delicious by those who try them. First of all me and my husband! I often take inspiration from my favourite chefs, restaurants, cookbooks and food blogs to create new recipes. Sometimes the inspiration comes from a trip I’ve taken abroad; from a TV show; from a book; or simply it is the result of whatever ingredients I have in my fridge and pantry.
Many of the recipes you find here on Mondomulia are original and created with love! But if you’re someone who wants to create a recipe of their own, or wants to try and come up with a family cookbook you can pass down to your kids and grandkids, it doesn’t have to be hard to throw some ingredients together.
It’s time to put your own chef’s hat on and learn how to create your own recipes like the professionals do!
Start with a Bit of Research
You need to do your research first of all, to understand what makes recipes work. Start by learning the basics: different cooking methods, flavour pairings, seasonality.
Make a list of your all-time favourite recipes and take them as inspiration. How did that particular chef create the dish you love? Think about the flavour pairing and then make something of your own based on it.
At the same time, with a bit of research, you’ll be able to substitute ingredients a lot better. For example, are you missing an ingredient and want to sub it with another one you have available? Or you’re trying to create a dish that features a food you don’t like? It’s generally easy to swap ingredients and find alternatives that’ll add a similar hit of flavour to your dish.
