I want to learn how to Cook! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Rem&Silkmom · 03-27-2006, 06:45 AM

watch the food channel that is what i do...then if something looks good I get on line and print the receipe and its all down hill from there. I try to stick with things that look easy and not to difficult. Crock pots are nice also for easy recipes. Just throw everything in there and turn it on...it almost always turns out great!

Just read a cookbook and you should be able to get it! Just follow the step by step instructions and you should be able to cook anything! Start with something easy and then you can work your way up!

I love to cook. My grandmother taught me somethings, but for the most part I just experiment. They don't all succeed.

do you have any tips or advice.. did you go to a class, read a book? i want to learn how to cook for me and my hubby so we don't have to live off fast food for the rest of our lives!

If you don't have someone to show you the ropes. I would suggest buying a good cookbook or maybe taking a class. My mom & my grandmother taught me a lot about cooking. I also have lots of cookbooks.

I learned watching and helping my mom when I was young, I like to cook.
I think the food channel is a good idea, and then just print out recipes off of www.foodtv.com Try the basics.. 30 min meals, Semi Homemade, Paula Deans show, are some good ones, Not to Over the top. like Emeril. BAM!

Trial and error along with good recipes and lessons from my mom, grandma and mother-in-law. It just takes a lot of practice and believe me I'm still learning.

I tried my hand at pesto sauce once that my hubby and his brother forced down. I think that was my only mistake bad enough that was bad enough that they gag when they hear the word pesto. They'll give me a hard time about that until the day I die. It was so bad I didn't even eat it.

Just keep a bag of frozen Bertolli pasta or something simple like that that you can make in 10-20 minutes just in case things go wrong.

You'll get it!

I have a great Paula Deen & Sons cookbook. I use it all the time. It's great.

I LOVE Paula Deans and her southern accent! It's totally charming! "Y'all just come n' enjoy yourself in my kitchen." Lol.

Mmmmm....just love her love her love her and her food.

I love to cook (just hate cleaning up the mess afterward). My suggestion is to get a cookbook or a recipe and follow it exactly as it says. Find something simple at first. You can also check out some cooking shows and try making something easy that they make on the show
