Click here to read the latest recipes or articles I've posted.
Over the years I've garnered a pretty good haul of basic home-cooking knowledge. I've learned how to cook many of my favorite ethnic and international foods. I've been lucky enough to catch on to some crucial traditional information that's been all but lost to time. And I've developed a number of offbeat, innovative tips and techniques of my own. As a result, my kitchen isn't quite like any other.
What are the secrets to great home cooking? Can you learn to cook? Yes!
- Recipes. This is one important tool for learning to cook. But not the only tool!
- Equipment. Think you're a lousy cook? No. You just own bad pots and knives.
- Ingredients. You can't make good food from bad ingredients.
- Attitude. Observing, questioning, experimenting -- it's a delicious discovery trip!
