Text10Hello, everyone! Anyone here loves to eat? And anyone here thinks they can’t
cook? Well, I’m here to tell you that everyone can cook, and Kitchen Confidence is
going to prove it! To most people, cooking can seem scary. All those preparations,
measurements, techniques are enough to make anyone order takeouts. But here’s the
secret: cooking is just following a recipe. All you need is finding the right recipes.
That’s what Kitchen Confidence is all about. These recipes aren’t common ones.
They’re infallible. If they are not easy to follow, they don’t make the cut. But this
book is more than just recipes. It’s a guide to building your confidence in the kitchen.
We start with the basics. Then we move on to recipes that use different skills, each
one building on the last. We’ve also included tips on meal planning and grocery
shopping on a budget. Today, we’ve prepared some samples. They were made by
volunteers who had never cooked before reading this book! So, are you ready to get a
taste?
