Cook
This is what I often look like after a visit to a kitchen store and being tempted to buy a new gadget - which does not work!
My youngest daughter recently set up home (on a small scale as a law student) and realised she loves food but never watched Mom in the kitchen. So now I'm writing what may turn out to be a book for her - a beginners book. Not many formal recipes, but "how to's", like how to make a cream soup and then suggestions for various flavours, etc. and encouragement to adapt her own taste.
I started off with her kitchen - amongst others, gadgets. What do young people need when they start cooking? What's really necessary? what works and what doesn't? Example: no garlic press gives me the result that a sharp and strong bladed knife gives when "creaming" garlic with some salt. And can you use an egg cutter for mushrooms? Etc. etc.
Would members like to join in and tell about their favourite gadgets, and the not-so-favourite ones? Practical tips in the kitchen will also help. And we'll all be helping each other
It could be fun
Greetings
