People have all this interest in food. But for most people, it's a mystery how to prepare food. I wanted the knowledge cooks know: the in-your-fingers knowledge you get by doing it over and over.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Cooking is like anything else: some people have an inborn talent for it. Some become expert by practicing, and some learn from books.
Preparing food is not just about yourself and others. It is about everything!
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.
You learn to cook so that you don't have to be a slave to recipes. You get what's in season and you know what to do with it.
I think people know that I love food, but maybe people don't know that I cook a lot.
To become a good cook is to know yourself, and I, at this point, know myself. I know myself, and I know the cook I want to be and the cook I am striving to be.
I love food and am very good at improvising when preparing it - it's a really creative experience for me.
I have so many friends who don't know how to cook.
Typically, you learn how to cook, but you don't know why. We were looking for a deeper understanding of what was happening to our food as we roasted it, boiled it, grilled it, chopped it, etc. And it turned out, as we began to really say what is cooking, what does it mean to cook, there's a lot of science involved.
The way to entice people into cooking is to cook delicious things.
