[quote=Anonymous]I learned to cook by throwing out the books. I was in the Peace Corps, missed good food, but had access to local markets with good vegetables and basics like flour and rice and oil. And so I just experimented. I agree totally with the post above - you haven't learned to make steak, you've learned to pan fry a piece of meat! Awesome! Try another kind of meat now! And then add another technique - braising is great, and includes all sorts of stews. I like Michael Pollen's Cooked for this, because he goes through some of the techniques. If you enjoy his writing you might enjoy that. Sounds like you are well on your way to being a fine cook.[/quote]
