The Reluctant Gourmet™. G. Stephen Jones.
Philadelphia, PA September 25, 2007
Ten years ago, The Reluctant Gourmet decided, “I’ve got to eat, so why not learn to cook and eat well?” Since then, The Reluctant Gourmet, aka RG, has shared his daily path as a new home cook 'learning the ropes with millions of cooking novices worldwide. The developer of the Reluctant Gourmet character is G. Stephen Jones, a former Wall Street bond broker interested in learning how to cook and build a website simultaneously.
Frustrated by cookbooks and magazines that presumed him to be a gourmet-cooking expert just because he wanted to eat like one, he created the Reluctant Gourmet website as a “cooking guide for the novice from a novice.” RG helps other home cooks become more skilled and confident in their kitchens. His website provides how-to articles, photos, and interviews with top chefs, giving his visitors the tools they need to tackle even the most ambitious gourmet dishes, regardless of their cooking experience.
One visitor stated, "I like his site because he has many easy ways to follow. RG explains things so darned well. I've been getting his newsletter for a few years now and enjoy it. I love that he's learning along with the rest of us!"
The novice perspective and approach to cooking have cemented the role of reluctantgourmet.com as the go-to website for new home cooks. The friendly site introduces readers to pantry setup, how to purchase kitchen equipment and tools, instructions on detailed cooking techniques, and an incredible collection of recipes.
ReluctantGourmet.com now publishes a cooking & recipe blog to keep RG's fans current on his latest cooking adventures. The site's "Novice to Pro" interviews with top chefs and the Culinary School Resource Center connect aspiring professional cooks to top schools in the culinary world.
The millions of yearly visitors from every corner of the world inspire The Reluctant Gourmet and drive his continued innovation as a home cook. As RG says, "I am still a reluctant gourmet! I may take more risks in the kitchen, but there is always much to learn. The community encourages each other always to make the best meal possible because, as RG says, "You’ve got to eat, so why not learn to cook and eat well?"
