What are you having for dinner tonight?

I don’t really believe when people, especially full grown adult people, say they don’t know how (or don’t like) to cook. This probably makes me an awful person, but I think I’m okay with that. Knowing how to cook is an incredibly important life skill and saying you’re not interested is basically like saying you’re not interested in taking care of yourself. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE it when other people cook for me, whether it’s people in restaurants, friends, family, or even the woman on the street corner who makes those amazing bacon wrapped hot dogs. But there are few things more satisfying than taking a bunch of ingredients and turning them into something delicious, beautiful, novel, entertaining, and/or nourishing.

Many people find cooking intimidating, but it really doesn’t have to be. Often, things made from scratch sound more impressive than they actually are. Sometimes people will say things like “I made this cake from scratch” with an air of superiority, but the truth is it is often just as easy as making cake from a box. There are things that are legitimately complicated and hard to make, but those things are not what this site is about. The goal of this site is to show you that cooking really isn’t hard and to give you the tools and confidence you need to give it a try.
