Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; Favourite Hobby and Why
Aside from reading, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered writing this blog, my favourite hobbies are cooking and baking. Somehow I relax while in the kitchen, making food and trying new-to-me recipes.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, as I love both books and cooking, I have quite a collection of cookbooks and quite a while ago, I decided I wanted to cook my way through my cookbooks, trying the recipes that caught my eye and I found interesting. At first, I "only" documented it on Instagram and created a specific hashtag for it, but I more recently also started a blog for it, even though I can admit I haven't been too good at updating the latter at times.
Some other benefits are that I can try new-to-me cuisines without going to restaurants and I improve my skills in the kitchen. As I need to eat anyway, I can equally as well have a bit of fun with it.
I love reading too, and I would love to like cooking, but I find I don't have the patience.
ReplyDeleteThat's so much fun! I love to cook and collect cookbooks, too. Never thought about working my way through them all.

Cooking your way through a cookbook sounds so fun!
ReplyDeleteCooking through cookbooks sounds amazing! I have some picky eaters, but I bet my husband and I would enjoy that. How many cookbooks do you have? Thanks for sharing.

I do enjoy cooking, but I can't really count it as a hobby since I so seldom have the energy for it. Reading and writing are always with me, of course, and I'm trying to cultivate some more active, outdoor kinds of hobbies as well: walking, camping, hiking, climbing.
ReplyDeleteWe could be sisters EXCEPT I hate the baking part. Love the books and the cooking but I am awful at baking. I think it's because you can't experiment with baking as much but it's also because I didn't grow up around many bakers.
