I am. I love watching cooking shows on the Food Network. Rachael, Paula, Guy, Bobby & Duff are all regulars in my home. And I dig the gadget shows – infomercials, QVC, Home Shopping Network. Only one little issue – I am just learning how to cook.
That’s right. I’m 51 years old and just recently decided I really want to learn to cook. Nothing gourmet or fancy. Just good comfort food. And if it’s on the healthy side, all the better.
I figure there must be others out there like me – we love food, we want to learn how to cook, and most recipes take for granted we already know how. But we don’t, do we? Like when a recipe says “cook ‘til golden brown” and you wonder just what exactly how golden is golden and how brown is brown.
So I’m starting a blog for us, all of us who really want to cook good food, but don’t know a sauce pan from a skillet. I’ll share my successes, as well as my failures, my triumphs and my tragedies. And I hope you’ll do the same. (If you’re an experienced cook, any sage – pardon the pun – advice is welcome.
I’ve also started a Foodie Newbie Network – where you can join and contribute your own recipes. So grab a cup of coffee, or pour a spot o’ tea, and meet me in the kitchen. No experience req’d.
