[quote=Anonymous]I learned a lot from my mom, just helping her cook dinner every night growing up. At some point she took a French cooking class (mid 70s?), and her cooking definitely improved after that, she became more confident in her own creativity and was able to stray from recipes into making something great out of what was available. Home Ec was also required for ~6 weeks in 6th-8th grade (for both boys and girls). Mostly focused on measuring, a little on technique and a lot on food safety and cleaning. Wish my DH had had the cleaning part, he is not a great dishwasher. And a love of cookbooks and eating. Bittman, Fannie Farmer and Joy of Cooking are great for "how long and what temp". Others are more inspirational for flavorings.[/quote]
