Description
Who is the Reluctant Gourmet
That’s me, the Reluctant Gourmet. I was reluctant when I put the hat on for the photo since I’m not a real chef but an amateur home enthusiast. I looked up the word gourmet in my Food Lover’s Companion, a great dictionary of over 3,000 culinary terms, and it said, “a connoisseur of fine food and wine”. Well, I may love food and wine, and enjoy cooking, but I would be reluctant to call myself a connoisseur. Hence, The Reluctant Gourmet!!!!
My Cooking Philosophy
Cooking is great fun and not that difficult if you learn some basics cooking techniques. Cookbooks and cooking magazines are great sources for learning how to cook, but at the same time can early dissuade you from getting started and trying to be an accomplished home cook. One of the reasons I started this web site was because I found many of the food articles written in cooking publications by professional chefs hard to follow and difficult to understand. They assumed you knew a lot more than I did at the time. So I started learning as much as could by reading and asking a lot of questions and applying what I learned to their recipes.
There are two basic reasons to learn how to cook. One, you have to eat. Unless you can afford to dine out every night or hire your own personal chef, there will be times when you will need to cook. So why not learn how to do it well and save that Kraft Macaroni and Cheese for the kids. (Not that I don't love the stuff, but I ate a life times worth while in college)
