Introductions

The premise of this blog is quite simple. In my journey from a Not Quite Stepford wife, I want to learn how to cook, how to cook things we enjoy eating, and mostly how to cook well. In this blog I will document honestly my triumphs and failings, and hopefully end with a better understanding of my abilities and limitations.

At present I am aiming to cook one recipe per week, most likely on Wednesdays or Thursdays. I am not working my way through one single cookbook, but am taking my recipes from pages ripped from magazines, various cookbooks laying around the house, delicious looking things that I have found online and from 'you need to try this' recommendations from friends or even strangers.

I will have various testers, depending on what type of meal I have cooked and I will be doing things from cakes, main meals, banquet dishes to decorative entree and everything in between.
Every recipe will be rated on three things - taste, ease and appearance.
Photographs will be included of my creations, and where possible, a photo from the recipe for comparison.

I hope you enjoy the journey, I can't wait to jump in - tastebuds first!
