It’s not that I didn’t start out believing I could cook…
Posted: November 3, 2010 Filed under: Uncategorized 2 Comments »It’s not that I didn’t start out believing I could cook…I grew up in a home where I was taught that I could do anything. I was encouraged to take on every new challenge. And, in many cases, I was successful. Thinking back, I wonder if this track record is what led to my eventual downfall.
I’m a terrible cook.
I know you’re thinking that I’m being dramatic. But really? I’m not. Allow me to back up a bit… (wooo eee wooo eeee…. you know like in the movies….)

I have a similar phobia about cooking (and have also always adored baking). interestingly enough, I have also been trying to conquer my fear. I have been working through the smitten kitchen recipes. I find her detail very reassuring as well as her explanation of how it might come out. and i am trying things i never would have eaten (or made) before! good luck and post the yummy recipes of things that work!
I love Smitten Kitchen! We are SO in this together! PS: Dinner tonight worked out well! I really am finding my confidence…. Good luck to you, too!
