I've never had a blog before and am excited to begin putting all of my recipes in one place. I'm sorry to say I haven't physically coded a website since the 90s so I'm sorry if this is initially difficult to read. Also, I'm limited to using the camera from my old Samsung Freeform (which I love) - So I'll apologize now for the quality of the pictures. I'll try to get better with both as time moves on but this is about the cooking, not the technology!
I was inspired to start working on this project because I am amazed at how many new techniques I am picking up on Reddit and thought that this would be a great way to incorporate those techniques into whole recipes that can benefit the novice cook.
One of my favorite hobbies is teaching people how to cook. Not how to cook better, but how to cook if they have absolutely no practical knowledge at all. It's easy, and relaxing, and anyone can do it! Unfortunately I haven't seen a lot of good quality information for that total beginner. For the guy who asks what goes on a BLT. We've all worked with them. Hell, I used to be one. Kind of still am.
I am not a "chef" and there will be countless methods that you will encounter that are better than mine (make sure you email them to me, because I want to know!) - But while better methods may be available these methods do work and the final product, with patience and effort, will allow you to succeed.
Most of the recipes you will encounter here will be designed around entertaining. Having guests over and cooking for them. Effort is involved. It may take several times before you really know what you're doing. Remember: Cooking is as much an art as it is a science. Keep a cool level-head and use common sense. Mistakes can be (usually) covered up and even if your endeavor is a totally inedible disaster you will learn from your mistakes and get better. You can do this!
