And agree w/ you on the basics. Finally got an awesome, do-it-all knife. Oh, a little food processor doesn't hurn either :) Visited your blog and like what you've got!

I had to teach myself too, with the help of several cookbooks, Googling recipes based on the ingredients I happened to have in my fridge, and a little time for experimentation. You don't have to have fancy equipment, just a few basics. For me, that includes a meat thermometer, cast-iron skillet, cast-iron dutch oven, and some good knives and cutting boards. Your blog is beautiful, by the way, and I am happy to see my blog listed on your site. Thank you! My mom hated cooking so I grew up with Hamburger Helper and Safeway deli trays for dinner.

You have every business to be an active participant in the kitchen. I learned mostly by eating simple but delicious meals, watching and making mistakes, and there's nothing more enjoyable than preparing meals with friends. My kitchen is simple and functional, and people love the nutritious and satisfying meals that come from it. I'm starting to put up a bunch of "Recipes of Lazies" (I don't believe in sweating for hours in the kitchen) on our blog: www.plangardengal.com but encourage people to experiment with their own creations!
