Learn to cook and a whole new lifestyle of health and nutrition is open to you.<br /><br />Michael Pollan says "learn to cook and you have power over food"<br /><br />If your Mom or Grandma didn't teach you to cook, you're unfortunately left to recipe books and celebrity chefs on TV. The problem is neither of these actually teach you HOW to cook.<br /><br />The Food Network is the MTV of Food. MTV used to play music, now they're entertainment ABOUT music. The Food Network is entertainment ABOUT food, they don't teach anyone to cook.<br /><br />Neither will you learn how to cook from a book. Written recipes won't teach you to cook any more than having sheet music will teach you to play piano. There are too many variables in recipes that always lead to frustration.<br /><br />The best way to free yourself from recipes and cook like a chef at home is to examine the basic cooking methods. When you learn HOW to saute, broil, grill, roast, then you can create your own recipes from what you have on hand.<br /><br />Knowing HOW to cook anything is a skill that will save you time, money at the grocery store, improve your health, reunite your family over dinner, eat a greater variety of foods, and have this skill for the rest of your life.<br /><br />Chef Todd Mohr<br />WebCookingClasses.comChef Todd Mohrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01392499658433702532noreply@blogger.com
