Here is where we get as non-technical as possible. I’m not cooking for competition, im cooking to give my kids something to do other than annoy me all day.
All recipe’s and instructions will be based on the fact that time is precious, and not all prescribed steps are necessary when cooking. They assume you have kids, pets, significant others or all of the above running around and interrupting you. Read to the end of each page to find any mistakes i made or lessons i learned whilst preparing them.
If you learn from a mistake, it ceases to be a mistake and becomes a lesson.
