Did anyone ever teach you to cook?
If you're like more and more people in their 20s and 30s, the answer is a resounding "no". Your parents probably both worked and likely didn't have the time or the energy to teach you, if they even knew how to do it themselves. More and more schools aren't offering home economics or cooking classes due to budget cuts and an increased focus on academics.
We live in a world of convenience and it's really easy to not cook if you don't know how. You can get pretty far in life not knowing, but if you want to learn where do you go? Cooking classes can cost a lot of money and blogs and television shows tend to cater to a slightly more advanced crowd. You can't build a house without a foundation and you'll never be a great cook if you don't know how to mash potatoes. The purpose of this blog is to provide an easy and informative way to improve your cooking skills without anyone assuming you know how to cook a whole chicken.
Meet the Food Skanks!
Liz -- A 25 year old full time student and occasional office slave, Liz learned to cook through a lot of trial and error. She now splits her time between Texas and Australia, where she stays with her sexily accented fiance. Her food passion is anything that can be made with liquor and once got drunk off of a wine based stew. On the weekends, she fights crime.
Jennifer -- A 22 year old full time student and the next Martha Stewart, Jennifer learned to cook through blogs and elementary cookbooks. (The only things she learned to cook in Skills for Living class was Rice Krispies treats, pizza, and Koolaid). She currently lives in Texas with her picky eater fiance and her best friend, her cat Newton. (No offense, Liz). Her favorite dishes tend to be Italian food or simple, rustic foods with few ingredients. Her side gigs include being a professional bad ass and a crime-fighting sidekick.
