How it Works!

Ok so we all know I'm a terrible cook. The worst! And maybe part of my problem is a lack of interest. So this is a little project I've thought up to get pumped and excited about cooking.
Have you ever seen those old cook books!? Maybe one of your parents or grandparents has or had one. They're the cook books that are full of hand written recipe from loved ones with personal messages from the writer with special tips or reminders. Many of the entries are stained, faded or falling out because of wear and tear but it doesn't matter because each one holds a special place in your heart.
....I want one of those....
So I got thinking. I have one recipe that my old flatmate Helene gave to me. Her beautiful handwriting on her personalized nature themed notepad paper has so much character and brings up so many fond memories of her. I would love to create a book filled by people I love, and one that has so much diverse creativity and beauty!
So I've decided to ask all my friends and family members to Hand Write a recipe that has significant meaning for them, and then snail mail them to me. With them I plan on putting together the most wonderful cooking scrapbook!
That's not all though. I want the people who have shared their love of food and cooking to get something back too! So I thought it would be fitting to document my first attempt at each recipe via this blog where I could post photos, videos and/or any personal insights into my experience so you can all have a good laugh at my expense! :P

Recipe #5 - Stuffed Capsicum

This was a really fun one for me to do. I was up at my cottage for the day and decided to take some time to cook a good meal for myself and my brothers. There were definitely a lot of slip ups but it all worked out really well in the end. I borrowed my friends tripod and I really like this angle as opposed to when I'm at home. You can see more of what I'm doing. Anyways... I had to leave before my Bro's got home but the heated them and RAVED about them for days after. They seem to think I can cook now. Great right!? Only now I have a reputation to uphold, :S Enough blabber! Here it is!!!!
