For my free inquiry topic I have decided on testing my abilities by challenging my skills of a chef. I have never had to cook by myself before, which is more common then one would think. When parents cook it only makes sense for them to provide enough for the whole family. Therefore the opportunity to cook has never been presented to me and as a high school student plus being involved with after school clubs and sports teams, I never had the time to even begin to learn how to cook. Over the summer, while transitioning into year 2 of post-secondary education I didn’t have time to learn how to cook since I was working full time and whenever I got home it was past dinner, closer to midnight! Therefore I chose the challenge of trying something new to cook every few weeks to continue to develop my cooking abilities. This weeks recipe I gave a try was just a classic veggie burger on the barbeque (which I have never used before!), sauteed mushrooms with wine, chicken broth, onions and garlic. Lastly I made sauteed spinach with onions. Overall I would rate this a 8/10 for my first time, the burger was slightly charged and the spinach was a tad too peppery but only room for improvement.
