The need for practice.


It has occurred to me that not everyone thinks they can cook and some people know they can’t. But as you will see the work that goes into creating an experience that will last, will always be totally worth the effort. For those of us that can cook a few things not limited to ketchup spaghetti, Ramen Noodles, and hot dogs in the microwave. May just mean they need a deeper understanding of what different cooking methods do to food so they can in turn not destroy the task at hand and of course learning many different flavor profiles can help to. The key is to jump in and always be working at it failure after failure may happen but if you seek to figure out why the buttermilk biscuits and gravy recipe you just made taste saltier then the ocean and like a half pound of baking soda. And how the chemistry behind cooking works more often than not it’s something very simple. The key is to practice, practice, practice as with anything else.

Jump in or dive in to as many different recipes and variations of recipes that you can. Immerse yourself in the many different facets of online media, websites, book’s, cooking shows that are out there. Try new things break out of you comfort zone. Burn the kitchen down ok not that one and make sure the roof is indeed not on fire no matter what the song says. Find a cooking buddy that can take the journey with you to include eating, cleaning and washing the dishes. And most important have fun.
