Cooking I have a Chinese stomach, so I am really not used to eating typical western fook, like burger or pizza every day. The most important technique of Chinese cooking is stir-frying, and vegetables become really tasty by this method. Also, that's why I really dislike salads, for me they are just raw vegetable leaves with all kinds of strange sauces. I always cook meals by myself, and I enjoy the process. I would like to learn from recipes and try some new things. Often, when I eat something delicious outside, I want to replicate it at home. Unluckily, sometimes I fail to make the dish exactly the same as what I ate in a restaurant. Well, it's reasonable, because if they want to make money they have to keep some secret of seasoning. Anyway, I will not give up, just treating those failures as opportunities of improving my cooking skills!

I have a Chinese stomach, so I am really not used to eating typical western food, like burgers and pizza every day. The most important technique in Chinese cooking is stir-frying, and vegetables become really tasty by using this method.

I always cook meals by myself, and I enjoy the process. I would like to learn new recipes (you would commonly say that you learn new recipes, not learn from new recipes). Often, when I eat something delicious outside, I want to replicate it at home. Unfortunately, (better and more common word to use here), sometimes I fail to make the exact same dish that(this is a simpler way of saying it) I ate in a restaurant. Well, it's reasonable, because if they want to make money they have to keep some seasoning a secret. Anyway, I will not give up, and just treat those failures as opportunities for improving my cooking skills!

Hi, great post! I have a western stomach, but I don't eat burgers or pizza much. I love salads, there are lots of different ways you can serve raw vegetables! A couple of things about your excellent English... you say "I always cook by myself" - this would mean you are alone when you cook - did you mean "I always cook for myself"? this would mean you make your own meals? "the same as what I ate in a restaurant" - although this is fine, it's a bit 'clunky'. You could say "the same as the one I ate in the restaurant" "secret of seasoning" - might be better to say "keep some of their seasoning secret." "opportunities of improving my cooking skills" - you need to use the infinitive of the verb here - "opportunities to improve my cooking skills" Hope this helps, best wishes
