Learning to Cook

I had so many good teachers at various restaurant jobs who made cooking and baking friendly and not scary. Not that there isn't high drama and high stress in the kitchen. But perhaps that's part of the draw.

Think about your favorite foods and consider learning to make one or two. Start simple.

To me, there is nothing more joyful than baking and cooking your favorite food and then there's the added bonus sharing them with appreciative friends, neighbors and loved ones.

We all come to the kitchen for different reasons (health, love, obligatory, you name it) yet we all share one common ground. All humans eat. 

I believe cooking and baking is the ultimate celebration of life. A house becomes a HOME when it smells like good food cooking.

 Enjoy the process and most of all have fun.

 As Jacques Pepin says: HAPPY COOKING!
