Ray's Take

I used to half joke with people that its unfortunate, but one of my best skills is cooking. As I get older, I'm thinking more and more that actually cooking is an amazing skill to have. And everyone can learn.

There are so many reasons to learn how to cook. Speaking for myself, I prefer eating home cooked food to restaurant food 99 out of 100 times. Do I eat out? Yes, I am not an anti-social hermit.

However, I truly believe that my food at home is healthier, tastes better, and cheaper than restaurant food, while 100% being made with higher quality ingredients.

At this point, the only times I'll eat out is if its with a special group of people, or a very special restaurant.

The way I cook, meal planning is also a non-issue. In fact, I don't plan my meals at all. I don't follow recipes. And it really doesn't take that long.

You can have all of this too - healthy, delicious food every day that costs less and tastes better than anything you can order or eat at a restaurant. This series will teach you the fundamentals you need to know, and then how to improve your skills with every meal you cook.

Like all things, the more reps you get, the better and faster you'll get. I promise getting your reps in the kitchen will be one of the most valuable things you can learn and do.
