How’s your basic cooking knowledge?
Well, if you’re reading this at all, I know you at least have an interest in cooking (or perhaps just eating - that means you, Dad!). Cooking is something that so many people do, but often out of necessity, rather than because they are passionate about the art. It’s also something for which the vast majority of people do not receive any training, other than watching their parents cook. But what if your parents were not big cooks? What if you just had to learn as you go? Sometimes you miss the critical points, the basic techniques that can make a big difference to your overall effectiveness as a cook.
That’s where the Basics comes into play. Starting today and every Wednesday you’ll be able to see a new Basic episode (or two!), showing you how to do one cooking technique properly. Today we’re launching two segments - how to cook pasta and how to make a marinara sauce. Already a pro? Well, watch it anyway - you never know when you might learn something new! Remember: the more you know, the more you know you don’t know! 😉
I hope you enjoy the segments. They were a lot of fun to make and they let me do what I love doing best - teaching people! If you like the segment, be sure to click “Like” and subscribe to the series. So, without further ado… let’s get BASIC!
