Seasoning: How To Train Your Palette
I love chef Jean-Pierre. He’s energetic and positive, and if you want to learn about cooking techniques, I highly recommend subscribing to his You-Tube channel (after you subscribe to mine of course)!

Grocery Shopping Like a Boss
I’m usually at my local grocery store at least every other day, so I don’t use lists much. I’ve gotten into the habit of going so frequently because fresh stuff doesn’t last long, so I shy away from the once-a-week stock ups that some do. It’s easier for me, but these days I’m not cooking

So, you want to make bread the old-fashioned way, do ya? Well, you’ll have to start at the start, a sourdough starter that is; and it’s one of the simplest things to do. But, be careful what you ask for. The Simple: No matter what anyone tells you, a sourdough starter needs only three things,
