The Bittman book, How to Cook Everything, came in last night. I started reading it. It seems very fundamentals-oriented. I am just going to slowly work through it.
Unfortunately, I think I will need a handful more kitchen utensils. But I will take inventory of what I have and what I need over the weekend.
My plan is to choose about three recipes from the book and then make them my focus, where I make each one about three times. If they go well, I will move on to another set of three recipes until I start to get a feel for ones I want to make again/consistently.
But I am playing it by ear too, so we'll see how this turns out.
I am a little nervous, a bit overwhelmed by the task ahead, and at the same time I am looking forward to this learning process.
