My grandmother knew how to set a luxurious table out of nothing, now you rarely meet such culinary abilities.

My family prefers home cooking. Therefore, following the example of my mother and grandmother, I cook delicious at home all the dishes that I put on the table. Members of our family do not recognize semi-finished products and frozen cutlets with blueberries have not even tried. Only occasionally do we buy dumplings when there is absolutely no time for cooking.



I even make pizza at home. And I do not take a blank for the test in the store, but I make an opar on my own. I'm lucky: with the yeast test, I have "mutual love." And homemade fresh pastries do not go in comparison with the purchase!

I prefer the traditional dishes that our mothers baked and cooked. I have never cooked sushi or rolls before. But recipes for unique salads and snacks are often found or invented by replacing or adding a new ingredient.



I like to receive guests and treat them deliciously. Fortunately, the shelves of modern stores are filled with a variety of products, starting with everything familiar and ending with exotic, the names of which are even difficult to pronounce. If you have money, buy and cook whatever you want. Don't be lazy!



I wanted to diversify the dining table - you can use a huge number of brochures and books on cooking or look on the Internet. Here you can find the most unusual recipes and tips for cooking. You only need to analyze the information and apply the knowledge in practice. If at first something does not work, then over time you will gain experience and be able to cook any dishes.

Our grandmothers and mothers, who lived in the Soviet Union, had to make incredible efforts and imagination to prepare a variety of delicious dishes from a minimum set of products. In order to buy scarce food, women sometimes had to stand in long lines for hours. Especially lucky were those citizens who had “connections” and “dating”: they got goods “from under the counter”.



Housekeeping made it a little easier to solve the problem of food shortages. Therefore, those people who had the opportunity and were not lazy tried to keep in the private sector a bird, rabbits, a pig, a goat and even a cow. Many had a garden or garden. The owners not only used the grown products themselves, but also sold the goods among other citizens.



And word of mouth gladly shared with friends new popular recipes of dishes that could be cooked in your kitchen. If the hostess’ hands grew from the “right place”, she managed to set such a generous table that anyone would envy. And girls from childhood learned from their mothers and grandmothers competently to farm and “witch” at the stove. After all, then there were no microwaves, no blenders, no food processors, no other household appliances.

The modern kitchen is filled with fashionable devices and devices that can greatly facilitate the work of the cook or fully take on certain duties of the hostess. Nevertheless, some girls do not consider it necessary to spend a couple of hours a day preparing healthy homemade food, and widely use semi-finished products.



While women in their 30s and older mostly cook their own lunch, the younger generation orders pizza, roasts pancakes or steams instant vermicelle.

Of course, it's their own business. Only cooking should be learned. People say that you need to know and know a lot, and then pray that it will never be useful!
