    Instant Pot Tips and Tricks

    November 27, 2020

    One of the hottest kitchen gadgets this year is an instant pot. It is versatile, functional, and can make cooking quicker, simpler, and easier.

    Reasons Learning to Cook Is Therapeutic

    October 7, 2020

    Learning to cook is more about just being able to keep ourselves alive. It has a deeper meaning to it, it can be therapeutic. While some life skills and traits are more important than others in many different perspectives, there are a few that are objectively seen as super necessary.  One of those life skills is the ability to cook. Being able to put food on a plate for yourself and those around you has more effects than what face value provides. Some people are able to prepare meals better than others. You probably know an amazing chef that can create three-course meals, and friends who can barely boil water.…

    Introduction to Cooking With Wine

    January 23, 2019

    A wine labeled “cooking wine” is usually an inferior wine that would not be drunk on its own.  It typically lacks distinction, flavor, and contain too much salt and unwanted preservatives.
