I'm a "foodie" to the core: I love all that there is to do with food. You'll often find me watching cooking shows, reading food blogs, going to dinner with friends, participating in cooking classes, thumbing through cookbooks, trying new recipes, and making my own food creations.
Now, I should make it clear that I am NOT a professional chef. I'm simply a girl who knows how to eat and therefore pretends to know how to cook. Or, better put, I'm a girl who knows how to eat and therefore LOVES to try new recipes in my own kitchen. The recipes aren't always successful, but it sure is fun trying!
Since I watch so many cooking shows and participate in cooking classes, I learn SO much about how to do different cooking techniques or how to put different flavors together. I even watch cooking shows while I'm cooking. LOL.
A few of my favorite cooking celebrities are: Paula Dean, Rachael Ray, Aarti Sequeira, Guy Fieri, and Anne Burrell. I don't get paid to say that, mind you. I just truly, genuinely like them and learn so much from the pointers they share. So, I wanted to share it with you in case you want to watch and learn, too. :-)
Watching the shows and going to the classes really has been so helpful, and I suggest it to anyone who wants to learn how to cook or how to improve their cooking skills...inexpensively. Even if you don't particularly like what they are cooking, you can still learn different tips and techniques that will help you with the dishes you make.
