How to become a better cook
It made me
 "I only wish I'd done it sooner!"
How I did it: As an American living in Germany (whose German is pretty bad), I couldn't really take any cooking courses. Instead I used the internet. I searched for recipes on recipes.com and others, I watched cooking videos on the internet, and I stopped going out to eat and cooked dinner at home every night. Lessons & tips: Use the internet, it's a great resource! If you keep trying you WILL get better over time. Resources: www.allrecipes.com Search-able database with recipe ratings by other users.

How I did it: I started with making egg based breakfast every morning. Omelets and stuff. This was really helpful since I got the hang of frying stuff without burning it. And with omelets you can experiment with different flavors and ingredients which is great for when you move on to making more complicated stuff. When I got the hang of the easy stuff I moved on to making dinners. At first it was hard to come up with things to make, but I found lots of… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Since I moved into my house, if I want to eat, I'm responsible for it :) So, I was able to make all the foods I could never make at home for whatever reason, and I feel like my culinary skills have really improved :)I've gotten tons of compliments on my cooking, someone even asked if I went to school for it, haha. I've got a folder of pictures of food I've cooked too so it's fun to see what I've made over time. Read how I did it…

How to Learn Cooking by Yourself
In this day and age, it is assumed we need a teacher for everything and that we are incompetent at any basic requirement without having been taught by someone “expert”. This is a sad reflection on our social hang-ups about “expertise” being the only source of knowledge but rest easy; you can empower yourself. Start with learning how to cook by yourself.

i love cooking! i just wish i was better at it (>_<’‘) i usually bake more than i cook, and when i do cook, i keep it pretty simple. i need to practice more so that others can enjoy my food too! (right now i’m afraid of letting other people try things i’ve made in case it tastes bad to them.) the only problem is i hate recipes that call for more than 10 ingredients; it’s such a hassle to buy and prepare everything! :P

Last night's dinner/today's breakfast was awesome.

The weather was kinda dreary and I was feeling soup.
Enter in:
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 lb celery, sliced thinly
a few carrots, sliced thinly
1 can chickpeas
1 cup barley
1 clove garlic, chopped
tbsp-ish olive oil
5 cups vegetable stock
2 cups water
dash pepper
dash salt
dash cumin
dash paprika
No real method to the madness, just sauteed the veggies with the olive oil for a bit, then added in everything else and let it simmer until my husband got home from work. He called it perfect and asked for a repeat performance soon.
We finished the leftovers for breakfast today, and they were great.

I love food and i love cooking
3 months ago
Ok so I’m an ok cook, but at home I tend to eat out a lot and I really want to break this habit and make my own dinner every night. So now is the perfect opportunity to cook everyday and not eat out and in the process learn more about food and how to cook. I especially want to practice using more spices and cook healthier.

Spinach Risotto and Roasted Beets

Tonight was my first attempt at making risotto , and it turned out very well. Hubby didn’t love it, but he’s an insanely picky eater! Either way, I was happy that the recipe turned out so well.

I just don’t do it anymore. My husband cooks his own dinner because he likes to eat so late. I know it’s not very healthy and I should put more effort into it.
