Welcome To Anja's World of Food.
Hello and Welcome to Anja's World of Food. My name is Anja, and I'll be sharing with you the recipes my family cooks from our favorites
to the failures (and sometimes complete disasters). I have a pretty willing family, just me and my parents and we'll eat almost
anything, especially if you cut it really small or hide it under cheese (Thank you Rachael Ray!). We enjoy our lazy day meals
(I'm a full time Uni student and my parents run their own business) where you can just open a few cans, mix a few things together and
whala, there's dinner, to the more complex, well lets dedicate half a day to that dinner! I also occasionally feel the need to make fun
of ridiculous sounding recipes, so please bare with me and if you're daring, feel free to try it!
Here's to good food! Happy cooking (and even happier eating!)

Hi there!
My name is Anja. I'm a 21 year old uni student from Australia. I'm currently studying English Literature full time, but I love to make
time to actually cook! Oh, and when I really have time for more then study, bake! I wasn't always into cooking, I used to think shoving
a few frozen foods into the over constituted cooking, but my eyes have been opened to a whole new world! So I'll hope you enjoy the
recipes that I bring to the table. They're not all mine, in fact the most I generally do is swap a few veggies or change fresh herbs
to dried
*cough* coriander... I'll do a rant on fresh herbs somewhere I'm sure... On to the cooking, please!

CORIANDER(Cilantro)
Why is it, that everyone feels the need to include 'fresh' coriander to meals (Especially Thai cooking). If it's not in the actual meal, then it's used as a garnish. Statistically it is one of the world's most used herbs, but why? In my opinion fresh coriander runis any meal it touches. I'll use ground coriander, dried coriander leaves, but I refuse to let fresh coriander touch my food. It ruins both the smell and taste of meals, making them inedible. When a recipe call for fresh coriander I always substitute for dried.
Just my complaints for today...
