I love cooking, but because my mom is too much of a bimbo and my dad too much of a “manly man” to ever step into the kitchen, I never had the chance to learn from them. I grew up on delivery, takeout, eating out, and the incredible food made by the amazing woman who cooks for our family. I became deeply interested in cooking at the start of my teenage years and taught myself through the internet, books, that same woman, and other relatives.
I’m still learning, but Rainbow Plant Life is the only reason I can make a 1/2 decent dish. To this day, I still need recipes for things I haven’t made before/in a while. Generally I think of cooking as a “You get out of it what you put into it” kind of deal. If you want good food, it’s going to cost money and time.
