[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]fourth, start slow.  I think good cooks have a feel for ingredients and how food works - they dont rely on recipes.[b]  As my aunt who is a professional food person says, 'cooking is an art; baking is a science.'  [/b]you need to have the tools and understand the basics to master an art.

it can be fun![/quote]

So that explains why I like baking and my husband is an actual cook - I'm a scientist and he's an English major. I never get why he can't seem to get that baki requires precision, yet am always flabbergasted when he can just pull a meal together from whatever's in the fridge (a skill totally beyond me ;)

Back to OP - we're recently started using The Fresh 20 for meal planning, and it's been great to help me improve my cooking,  The recipes have basically all been delicious, and while it does take a bit longer than my standard heat-pasta-in-a-pot, I have the time to focus on the cooking portion because the meal planning / grocery list part is taken care of. It has definitely worked to improve the quality of our meals and reduce food waste while simultaneously reducing the meal planning / "what's for dinner?" angst.

Admittedly if I won the lottery I'd still hire a personal chef as cooking will never be my thing.  But since I don't see that happening, this is a good compromise in the meantime. [/quote]
