Creating new recipes requires a passion for flavour, love of food and the ability to put new ingredients together. Following a recipe provides a guide to producing beautiful meals pleasing everyone. And so, making a recipe unique is what my Canadian Cook loves to do.
Generally, he starts with an existing recipe. And then he tweeks it here and there, adding his favourites such as fresh seafood or a fresh spice that happens to be in season and before you know it, we have a new recipe. Some recipes need to be followed to the letter to create the ultimate dish. But trying something new makes cooking refreshing and exciting.
Today, we started with a recipe created by Giada De Laurentis called Tilapia Fish Tacos with Arugula, taken from the FoodNetwork.com. My Canadian Cook put his own spin on the recipe and created a wonderful appetizer!
Next time you are looking for a new twist in your kitchen, take an old recipe and give it a little zip by using the ingredients that are in season. June is time for fresh strawberries - what could you create with that fresh ingredient?
