How I did it: I used to consider myself a good cook until I started reading cooking blogs and check out foodie's websites. then I realized that I'm at best a minimalist and at worst use limited techniques and limited ingredients.

I cooked something new consistently throughout the year, and sometimes it took me 5-7 attempts before the recipe turn out good.
