Cooking & Baking

Ever watch Gordon Ramsey? America's Worst Cooks? Sometimes Gordon finds a restaurant taking shortcuts with prepared and frozen food that isn't exactly bad, but customers could have assembled that shit at home. Sometimes he finds creative cooks and those are my favorite shows, I remember one shrimp and banana dish that had me wondering how many packs a day the chef was managing to smoke. Salami with canned white frosting cuz ya ran outta mayo, they look alike, nobody will know the difference is just never going to turn out well.

People who have never cooked are going to want ingredient lists at first, it's the only way. Videos supply technique, as long as they're not Cooking with Jack or Kay's Cooking (biggest culinary trainwrecks on the net).

Beginning cooks need both. Fortunately, we live in a time when they can be gotten from someone outside the family of non cooks and without spending a fortune at CIA or the equivalent.
