I've spent ages dabbling in the kitchen as an amateur cook and, in my mind at least, know the right sort of combinations for particular meats.
So this week, in preparation for my weekends dish (my next 'winter warmer'), I've been having pork every night, with a different combination of spices. It's a hard life I know, and perhaps I'm going overboard but four nights this week I will have had pork, a variying spice combination and a different sauce.
From where do I get recipe inspiration? Well from books, the internet and (as above) my experience, my father also taught me a lot about cooking meat.
I've read a lot up on the techniques for making pulled pork in an oven, and it may or may not work well (we shall see!).
So where do you get your inspirations/techniques? Do you simply follow established recipes and enjoy (or not as the case may be) the outcome or do you experiment a little?
