How NOT to Cook - Common Cooking Mistakes & How to Avoid Them
Most of the cookbooks I find on techniques teach you How To Cook, but only a few teach you How NOT to Cook.
Years ago, I thought it would be fun to look at some of the most basic cooking techniques used daily and the common mistakes we make. You will be surprised at how many mistakes we all make that you didn't know about.
I was planning on publishing this collection of articles as a cookbook but decided it would be more helpful to post them on my website instead so I can get your feedback and add new chapters in the future. So, over the next few months, I plan to introduce these posts describing common cooking mistakes we always make in our kitchens and how to avoid them.
I hope you enjoy this new section of The Reluctant Gourmet.com; comment on some of your cooking mistakes, and please share this page with your friends and family.
