what teenfooding really means to me (by h.chiurciu)

one of these days i was probably fooding when thought to myself about the exact limits between teenfooding and regular cooking - at least when concerning my own experiences.

all the cook-alone/cook-with-friends part is very important; you are not being fed, nor providing solely the food.

but to me the most beautiful part comes from experimenting.
and when experimenting, i think it is important to always avoid onde or another tradition.

for example, whenever i'm teenfooding i tend to plan a dish without the traditional structure, or at least making a new version of the carb-protein scheme. i never cook rice or beans to myself, and always look for something i can make with one pan only.

it is the audacity of being lazy efficient!!

Everyday i make some coffee. And everyday, my coffee is different. I give "same conditions", and the providence gives me different coffee.

Todays coffee is worse.

But thats ok! In fact, that is what is magical in kitchen. There is no "same conditions".

To think in real kitchen, this teeny one, is to think in a non-repetition (perfection?) kitchen.
