Warm Lentil Salad with Arugula and Goats Cheese


By The Coffee Break (Visit website)



 




I am not one of those people who started to love cooking at an early age.  Despite both of my grandmothers worked as chefs all their life, I had no interest in cooking or food what so ever. The only interest I had was to eat it LOL. 


Countless times my mom would call me to the kitchen so I could learn to cook dishes she learnt from her mother. But I always had an excuse why I couldn?t do that. Oh how foolish I was...


When I got married at the age of 20, I just had basic cooking knowledge. Whenever I wanted to cook something I rang my mom to ask for a recipe and instructions. And the more I learnt, the more I enjoyed it.
With the confidence came desire to experiment with new ingredients and techniques. I learnt a lot since then and there are still plenty left to try and explore.


 My cooking is not perfect and there were many disasters on the way, but we live to learn : )
