Updated: May 5

Welcome to "Eishas Kitchen"! Today, we are going back to basics with some simple and delicious recipes for beginners. Whether you are new to cooking or just looking to brush up on your skills, these recipes are perfect for you. Let's dive in and discover the joy of cooking! 1. Classic Scrambled Eggs: Start your day off right with a classic breakfast staple. Scrambled eggs are quick, easy, and versatile. Simply whisk together eggs, a splash of milk, salt, and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, add the egg mixture, and gently stir until cooked to your desired consistency. Serve with toast or a side of bacon for a complete meal. 2. One-Pot Pasta: Save time and effort with this one-pot wonder. In a large pot, combine pasta, diced tomatoes, garlic, onion, and your choice of vegetables. Add enough water or broth to cover the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the pasta is cooked and the sauce has thickened. Top with grated cheese and fresh herbs for a flavorful and satisfying meal. 3. Baked Chicken Drumsticks: If you're craving a juicy and flavorful protein, look no further than baked chicken drumsticks. Preheat your oven to 200°C. Season the drumsticks with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. 4. Homemade Pizza: Who doesn't love pizza? Making your own pizza at home is not only fun but also allows you to customize it to your liking. Start by preparing the pizza dough using a simple recipe of flour, yeast, water, salt, and olive oil. Once the dough has risen, roll it out into your desired shape and thickness. Top with tomato sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings. Bake in a preheated oven at 230°C for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. 5. Chocolate Chip Cookies: No list of beginner-friendly recipes is complete without a sweet treat. Chocolate chip cookies are a classic favorite that everyone can enjoy. Cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla extract, then gradually mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips and drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet. Bake at 170°C for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly before indulging in their gooey goodness.
