I talk with a lot of people who really just don’t enjoy cooking. Now I’m not saying that everyone is going to be a foodie and love food and cooking, but everyone enjoys eating and cooking can be fun! Here are some ways to improve your enjoyment of cooking

1) Pick something easy to start and practice. If you pick homemade rolls and stuffed ravioli in a bearnaise cheese sauce for your practice meal chances are it’s not going to come out perfect the first time. Pick something realistic and to your liking. Here are some few here are a few easy and delicious meals you can make at home and impress even yourself.

2) Follow the recipe. It’s easy to make adjustments, skip things, and miss-measure. If you stick to the recipe and follow the instructions you will be successful more often. Side note, the ingredients come first for a reason. Measure them ahead of time and have them ready. Yes just like on TV.

3) Don’t get discouraged when recipes don’t work. Not all of them do. I cook, bake, and love it and I regularly have meals that come out as a total failure, even inedible. Just try again, find a different recipe, and don’t give up.

Let me know if you have any questions I love sharing my love for cooking.
