I'm all self-taught in this culinary journey. But I'm a dedicated student. My significant other and I are determined to improve our health and this is the number one reason why I've taking to cooking. I'm beginning to see the light. I can see how much of my success in terms of health, is in my own hands. Pear salads and barley dishes. Tamales. I actually like to eat what I cook! and I don't have to worry about consuming garbage. My first use of Tofu. Who knew Tofu could taste that bad! No matter how long I stared at the finish product, I was afraid to come near it after the first taste.
