Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 748

"Please forgive me if I mess up. I'll definitely try hard to learn!" Victoria pleaded.

Holding Aunt McGowan's arm, Victoria pleaded. In that case, she must succeed in learning to cook the dish! She would pick a dish regardless, so she might as well pick one that Trevor loved.

Full of fighting spirit, Victoria made up her mind.

"Okay, okay!" Aunt McGowan patted her hand and nodded while saying,

"Actually, this dish is very simple. To put it simply, it is to insert the meat stuffing into the hollow pepper, and then fry it! It is similar to making dumplings, except that you're not required to pinch the side closed. You just need to control the strength when putting the stuffing in. The methods are also very simple. You just need to choose the right pepper, marinate the meat stuffing, and prepare the sauce. Coincidentally, we have green peppers today, so I will demonstrate to you and teach you how to mix the minced meat. You can even use it to wrap the dumplings..."

"Okay! Thank you, Aunt McGowan!" Victoria uttered.

Victoria was very excited as she listened. Then, she followed Aunt McGowan and started preparing. First, she had to get herself familiar with the ingredients. That time, Aunt McGowan took out a kitchen weigh for her. Finally, she didn't have to estimate the weighs using her eyes and hands anymore. Instead, she could precisely measure with the weigh. Even though it was a bit of trouble, she enjoyed learning.

After learning for a while, only did she realize that even her technique of holding a knife was wrong all the while. No wonder every time when she cut the vegetables, it turned out so ugly and her hands would also get numb from it.

It seemed that cooking required a lot of knowledge as well.

Finally, Victoria was proud to say that, she could make a dish that was edible as well. The taste was just right, although its appearance was still a little unpleasant to the eyes.

With the guidance of Aunt McGowan, Victoria seemed to have a support system. In the next few days, whenever she had some free time, she practised cutting potatoes and carrots in the kitchen, as well as making the meat stuffings. She also prepared the condiments on her own.

In the evening, she would practice several times. At first, Aunt McGowan would keep an eye on her. Later, seeing that she could get through the whole process on her own, Aunt McGowan went on to do her own things.

Although she knew how to make the dish, Victoria knew that she still needed more practice to perfect it. The food would always have some burnt parts, or sometimes the meat would still be uncooked. Sometimes when she was in a hurry, she would be in a mess.

As her birthday was approaching, she was hoping that she could make a dish that he liked on that day. Then, they could have a candlelight dinner together as well as a graceful dance.

In the following days, Victoria practiced very diligently and seriously. She did her best from selecting the peppers to the final tasting stage without any help. It was like she was sitting for an examination every time, and she even carried a notebook along and constantly reminded herself what to take note of the next time.

In the blink of an eye, it was Thursday. Finally, she was able to serve an edible plate of pepper meat wrap.

She liked spicy food all the while, but she disliked how meat was usually oily. However, for that dish, she decided that she would put her diet plan on hold until her birthday was over. Dinner was going to be rice and pepper meat wraps again that night. It was the first time Victoria ate with such bliss, and she even finished a whole plate of it. Thereafter, she went to pour herself a glass of cold water and said,

"It's so spicy! Leaving the seeds intact is really the next-level of spiciness!"

However, it was really enjoyable, and it was very appetizing! She ate twice the amount she usually had for lunch!

Rubbing her bulging belly, Victoria was filled with a sense of accomplishment. She prepared another set with her leftover ingredients. She was planning to make it again the next morning. She was worried that she would get rusty at it, or that her accomplishment that day might just be purely out of luck.

She was busy in the kitchen until late at night. She then dragged her tired body back to her room.

As soon as she took a shower, her cell phone rang. When she saw it was a call from Trevor, she quickly pressed the answer button. "Hubby, it's me! Good evening, haha..." Victoria greeted excitedly.

"What are you up to? Did you go and have fun when I am not around?" Trevor asked while he wondered. Victoria always told him that she was busy and not to disturb her. Also, it was already past ten o'clock, and she had only picked up his call after he tried calling for three times.
