So I’ve decided to learn to cook, and I mean really learn. Sure I can do up some pasta and other basics like most bachelors, but I really want to have more control over what is going into my food. One-too-many food documentaries and articles has me heading down the road to all local, all organic food stuffs.
The first step was the cookbooks. I went with Mark Bittman’s because they seemed like rather comprehensive tomes. These will probably get me started and I’m sure I’ll pick up more along the way. Suggestions welcomed.
Next step, the cookware, knives, etc. That will be next weekend, or possibly some Amazon.com browsing during the week. Again, suggestions for brands, types of cookware, etc. are extremely welcomed.
Once I have all of the essentials covered, my plan is to plan and cook one to two meals a week using the book (doesn’t include my normal rounds of pasta and salads) and keep track of the successes and failures.
Let it begin!
