I get asked a lot of questions about cooking, some pretty basic, and some are very involved. After years of running this blog I realize that there are certain aspects of cooking and recipes that I take for granted, things that I assume everyone knows. Then some one like Chuck tries to read my recipes and comes back with a million questions, and I realize that not everyone is on top of all things cooking. I thought it might be a good idea to go into a bit more detail about cooking basics.
This series will be a once a month series that will run for at least a year, perhaps more. I’d really like to use this series to help new cooks build a strong foundation of information that will last a lifetime.
I’m going to start out very small and hit all of the topics that I think are important. I would also love to hear from you guys, what do you want to know? What are the skills that you want to learn or the random weird questions that you have? Please comment or shoot me an email me. If there is anything that I do not know I will take some time to figure it out or get a professional to help me.
I’m really excited about this series so keep an eye out on the second Tuesday of every month for a new cooking lesson starting tomorrow.

Thanks for ones marvelous posting! I genuinely enjoyed reading it, you may be a great author.I will remember to bookmark your blog and will eventually come back in the future. I want to encourage you to ultimately continue your great writing, have a nice evening!
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
