This weekend, I found myself captivated by an intriguing prompt suggested by @galenkp for our weekend-engagement topic. The challenge was to imagine being magically transformed into a chef and contemplate which three people, whether currently alive or from the past, I would choose to cook for and why? 🤔
The resonance of this topic struck a chord deep within me, as it felt not only related but remarkably close to my heart. The prospect of stepping into the shoes of a chef for the weekend has inspired me to reflect on the three most significant women in my life – my grandma, my mom, and my wife – and consider the profound reasons behind sharing a culinary experience with each of them! 😘
Cooking for Grandma
As highlighted in several of my prior writings, my grandmother, the cornerstone of our family, embodies a living repository of culinary knowledge. Her time-honored recipes, passed down through generations, transcend mere flavors; they encapsulate the very essence of tradition. Crafting a meal for her is a deliberate endeavor to resurrect one of her iconic dishes, one that evokes pride and reinforces our connection to our familial origins. It's not just about the taste; it's about connecting with the past, sharing stories, and passing on the legacy to the next generation! 😊
Cooking for Mom
My mother, a stalwart pillar of strength and the personification of selfless love, warrants a meal that mirrors her nurturing essence. I intend to craft a dish that is both comforting and wholesome, resonating with the same warmth and care she has generously bestowed upon me over the years. This culinary creation extends beyond the satiation of hunger; it serves as a heartfelt acknowledgment of the myriad sacrifices and steadfast support she has selflessly provided. As a special touch, I've chosen Thai cuisine, her absolute favorite, as a tribute to the woman who imparted to me the invaluable lessons of resilience and unconditional love! 💪
Cooking for Wife
Last but certainly not least, there's my wife – my partner in crime, my confidante, and the love of my life. The meal I'm planning for her is not just about showcasing my culinary skills; it's a love letter written in flavors. I want to create an intimate setting, complete with candles, soft music and of course complemented by a choice of our favorite red wine, where we can savor each bite and reminisce about the journey we've embarked on together. This meal is a celebration of us – the highs, the lows, and the beautiful moments that make our bond unbreakable.
As I cook for the three queens who have shaped my world, each dish will be a symbol of appreciation, a gesture that goes beyond the ingredients and transcends into the realm of emotions. As the aroma fills the air and the plates set before them when the day comes, I hope to convey just how much these incredible women mean to me. After all, a well-cooked meal is not just about feeding the body; it's about nourishing the soul and expressing love in its purest form! 🤗
Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and I look forward to sharing more next time!
PEACE OUT, @AK08

How beautifully you write!!! This way of commenting on what you would cook depending on what each of the pillars of your family (grandmother, mother, wife) means to you touched my heart.
This you mention, which would be a love letter written with flavors is a memorable sentence. Congratulations mate. You well deserve that place in the Weekend Experiences initiative. What a wise move on Galenkp's part to select you.
Thank you for dropping by @nanixxx!
Yup I expressed the love for these amazing ladies through my cooking! Not all dishes came through with perfection but no love is perfect but I always try to do better ☺️
I'm coming to your place for dinner!
Hahaha I will be very honored mate 😊
I don't cook all that often but when I do, I do it with love 😍
Love cooking...the best type of cooking.
I'm sure you do well in it as well!
Please showcase them in some other post you do 😋
congratulations... often cook for your wife, friend @ak08
Thanks @tomidiwirja, we take turns doing that for each other!
Can be fun at times 😁
Looks really yummy. Those prawns must be real good
Hehe yeah they are indeed yummy!
Can't get them any fresher in Singapore as they are purchased fresh off the market in the morning! 😋
Ahm. I was expecting your photos cooking for them hehe.. It must be good to live in your house with people good at cooking ,😁
!PIZZA
Hahaha those were being cooked by me! 😅
But yeah I'm brought up with homecooked food, so that's where I picked up those culinary skills as well ✌️
Such a heartwarming post. To be treated with good food especially from my son (soon, if that happens), I'd say I must have done something good in my life. 😄
You will soon get to reap the rewards of getting some homecooked meal from your son, I'm sure it! 😊
Thank you. But maybe I should tech them first how to cook. 😅
Have a grea week!
Haha yeah a mother's influence can definitely go a long way! 😊
Have a great week ahead too!

This looks absolutely delicious, I want to try those Rigatoni. I love what you cooked for your queens.

Yes please try the Rigatoni Recipe! It really isn't that difficult and is probably one of my wife favorite dish that I cooked right now 😅

This post struck me the most. It's good that you have seen the value of each woman in your life who in one way or another contributed something to being you nowadays. Such an inspiring thought indeed. God bless
Thank you so much @amoreyl for your kind words.
Certainly, this weekend-engagement topic prompted me to contemplate and articulate my thoughts for the wonderful and generous women in my life. I acknowledge that I may not have fully expressed their deserving love in this post, but I have made my best attempt to do so 😅
Hoped you enjoyed it! Catch you around again soon ✌️
You're welcome. God speed.
