One thing that improved my cooking skills was being a poor student in California... If you don't have much money, you have to learn to cook.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Once I was unemployed and didn't have money, you can't just go to dinner. The onus is on you to learn to cook... I learned how important the right equipment is.
I'm not very bright about money. I'm not domestic either. If I don't learn how to cook, maybe I won't have to.
Most cooks try to learn by making dishes. Doesn't mean you can cook. It means you can make that dish. When you can cook is when you can go to a farmers market, buy a bunch of stuff, then go home and make something without looking at a recipe. Now you're cooking.
When you don't have much money, cooking can be incredibly reassuring. You feel like you're doing meaningful work.
You don't come into cooking to get rich.
I studied cooking all through high school.
Give yourself enough time to really learn how to cook.
I never learned to cook; I was a little spoiled as far as that's concerned.
Even if you don't think you can cook well, you can cook better than the food industry.
I cook a little - I've never taken classes or anything - but enough to get by.
