The Culinary Classroom

Throughout my life I've viewed the kitchen as the heart of the home, but also the room in which 95% of learning takes place.

Whether you're a novice cook who's just getting started, or a seasoned home cook, there is always more to learn when it comes to cooking and I learn something new on an almost daily basis!

As with any new skill, learning to cook can come with challenges, but we've come up with a few ways to cultivate a fun and fearless learning environment.

For example, start out by making dishes you actually love and feel passionately about, and don't get discouraged if you make mistakes; cooking is all about trial and error!

In this episode we explore our top dos and don'ts when it comes to learning to cook with the hope of helping you overcome any qualms you may have about cooking!
