Learning to Cook From Scratch

🍋 i love to cook ! especially with local ingredients and from scratch

🍋 but when i first moved out, i had no idea how to even put together a cheeseburger. now that’s the easiest thing i could make !

🍋 i had to call my mom and sisters for basic foundational skills like peeling and chopping garlic, how to sauté, and more

🍋 it’s still super scary for me to try new recipes as in those cases i don’t know for sure what will turn out edible and i’m usually cooking for more than myself

🍋 nothing great comes without a little risk. all of these meals were once brand new to me, and all of their foundational bits and pieces even more daunting

🍋 yet i continue to show up in the kitchen and pour my heart into these dishes. youtube, google, and conversation with other home cooks are how i have made it to where i am today. i am constantly learning new information on how to elevate my cooking. and the less talked about part, how to clean the dishes and counters as i go. because WOW do i know how to make a mess !

🍋 would you have a seat at my table? 💗
