I'm a recipe addict.<br /><br />If you're also okay with not online recipes, I recommend any of the "America's Test Kitchen" cookbooks - they tend to give really good directions and tutorials and everything I've made out of the two I use has been fantastic.<br /><br />On a side note, I don't know if you are into Living Social, but you should check out their deal today if you aren't, because...you know...it looks like you. http://livingsocial.com/deals/101437-50-to-spend-on-fabric-trimmings-and-moreLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255846555526218463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682009696931692325.post-47645747903788608342011-09-05T07:44:57.372-07:002011-09-05T07:44:57.372-07:00Hi there!
I used to think I couldn't cook for ...Hi there!<br />I used to think I couldn't cook for the life of me, but then I started trying different simple recipes and realized that I was completely wrong - cooking isn't as difficult as I thought!<br />My advice is to start slowly. Pick simple recipes with easy to find ingredients, and take your time. Don't rush cooking. I prep all of my ingredients beforehand (chopping, slicing, boiling pasta/rice, etc) so that I'm not running around in a frantic frenzy halfway through the recipe yelling "Ahhh! Why didn't I chop those? Now I only have 2 minutes to do so or my onions will burn!"<br />My biggest problem is usually with seasoning. I tend to worry that I might add too much salt or pepper or spices, and in turn I end up not using enough! Don't be afraid to season. Taste as you go. If you mess something up, don't freak out!, there's probably an easy way to fix it.<br />I'll leave you with a link to my Yummy board on Pinterest (I LOVE pinterest): http://pinterest.com/glustik/yummy/ ...most of the food on there is easy to make and uses wholesome ingredients. Let me know if you try anything! And definitely keep us updated on how your new adventures in cooking go :)Marinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597122539661486573noreply@blogger.com
