Anyone Can Cook

Hi all!

This is going to be another post without a recipe but I have a message to tell. Okay so you know the movie Ratatouille? Well you know how Chef Gusto always says that anyone can cook? That is completely true and not just to some nonsensical cartoon terms.

The reason I am coming along and saying this is because I have been cooking since I was about 5 years old. Now most people would assume that means I am an amazing cook. I think that is far from the truth. First of all the amount of time that you have been cooking for does not have anything to do with how well you can cook. Yes that amount of practice that I have gotten over the years has definitely helped me in my cooking endeavors. Second of all it takes more than just practice to be able to cook. I do not mean that in any sort of intimidating way. You just have to be able to come out of your shell. Stray away from recipes. Someone once told me that all recipes are there to do is to guide us. You can change a recipe in any way to make more to your tastes.

I have just recently started to come out of my box as far as using recipes. I have noticed a huge improvement in how everything I make tastes because I am using my judgment rather than someone else's.

One last thing. When you try a new recipe and it does not turn out do not... I repeat DO NOT be discouraged. Sometimes things just don't work right. Try again but maybe tweak things.

That's about all I have to say for the day. Check out my page on Facebook. I just started it and am trying to post interesting recipes on there every day. https://www.facebook.com/chocolatetasteslikebiscuits
