I've got a quick, "about this blog" blurb on the side of this page, but I wanted to go into a little more detail about my plans for the blog.  It seems that all of my friends are either really good at cooking or really intimidated by it, and I know that when I was still learning it was really frustrating to try and understand vague wording in recipes.  Not to mention, a lot of recipes out there assume you know a lot of things already, like how to brown meat or how to sauté.

My plan with this blog is to take a different approach and describe cooking techniques with more precise wording and photos.  I also plan to give as much background information as I can to help you to understand why things work the way they do.  I might not be able to anticipate all of the questions you might have, so feel free to send any questions my way.

Also, expect a lot of changes in the look and layout; it's still a work in progress. :)
