A culinary blog for home cooks who want to learn more about cooking techniques, the hows and whys behind cooking and how to making everyday cooking less of a challenge and a lot more fun.
We all have to cook. Some embrace cooking as joy while others look at it as a challenge. I find myself vacillating back and forth, some days finding it pure pleasure while other days finding it hard to get motivated. On The Reluctant Gourmet Cooking Blog, I try to get all home cooks (including myself) excited about being in the kitchen preparing delicious meals for my family. Nothing gives me more pleasure than when something I make comes out better than expected and my wife and kids tell me how good it is. Does it always happen? No, but most of the time they seem to enjoy it and occasionally, they rave. I am always looking for quick and easy meals for weeknights and shortcut meals where I use something commercially prepared and adapt it for my own unique recipe. You have to eat, so check out my cooking blog and learn how to cook so you eat well.
