Hi there Jester, and welcome I think you'll like this site a lot. You can learn a lot from the pros, and have fun in informal chat

[jester king]

informal chat? is that like a chat room?

[OregonYeti]

I was talking about

The Late Night Cafe (non-food/cooking discussion)

There you can talk about stuff that has nothing to do with anything

Welcome to Chef Talk, JesterKing. As you can see, we're a friendly community and welcome all food-lovers whether you're a home cook, aspiring professional or a seasoned veteran.

Besides the discussion forums we have cooking articles, cookbook reviews, recipes, blogs and the photo gallery to explore. Our search tool can help you pinpoint topics- a nice thing because we have many years' worth of information here!

I see you started cooking at home. Many of us were set on this path by family members sharing their knowledge. Please tell us about your early cooking experiences.

We'll look forward to seeing you on the discussion boards and hope you enjoy all the great information here.

Good luck!
