Cooking 101
Recipes and Advice for New Cooks
(no userpics)
Location:United States
About:About me: I'm a self-taught cook who has owned her own catering business for over 12 years.

About this community: This community is designed to share recipes and advice for all the novice cooks out there. It seems like everyone I know is trying to learn to cook after years of kitchen-phobia, so I'd like to help folks out with the best explanations I can come up with, and I'm looking for other people to help! Please feel free to post recipes, tips, and questions. I have a huge collection of cookbooks and resources, and LOVE looking stuff up.

Things to consider:

1. There are NO stupid questions! If you don't know, please ask. It's the only way you will learn without calls to the fire department.
2. Corollary: Please be respectful of any questions in your answers. Some people really are starting from scratch, and this community is primarily for them.
3. If you post a recipe from a cookbook, magazine, or other copyrighted source, please give proper credit. Any recipes posted here will be considered property of the poster, and if you want to publish it verbatim elsewhere, please get permission and give credit.
4. I am based out of the USA, and all of my measurements and ingredients are standard American. If you are using different standards, please note that in your recipe. Someday soon I'll put a metric conversion table on this page.
5. Oh, and out of courtesy for everyone's friends page, please put long recipes behind an LJ cut. Thanks!
