My philosophy is the that meaning of life is to be excited about living. One of the best things that I have discovered to keep myself excited about life is learning new skills. Every new skill is a journey of self improvement that sparkers further curiosity and sense of purpose.  Creative skills and arts enhance your understanding of being human.

I believe that if you are choosing to start the journey of learning a new skill,  learning to cook is one of the best choices you can make. Everybody needs to eat. The ability to cook yourself, your friends or your family a meal is one of the most satisfying things a person can do. It is a sign of independence and promotes self worth. Cooking is one of very few creative skills that is appreciated at every level of proficiency.  Bringing a simple dish to a family gathering while you are early in your cooking journey is received much better by others than your rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little star on your new violin or some rather abstract artwork from your humble beginnings as a painter.  To create is to be Human.  I want anyone to be able to learn. 

The goal of this platform is to document my continual journey of learning the art of cooking while teaching from first principles. I don’t just want to show you how, I want you to understand why.

Have fun, be curious, and stay excited about the journey.
