Welcome to Chef Talk, IrishPride! While you call yourself a home cook, "nothing to spectacular or fancy", some of your dishes might be new, inspiring or a godsend for someone who has never cooked them before- or anything, ever.
I'm sure you have ideas, insights and information to contribute, and I hope you do so often. We home cooks are welcome here as much as the professionals.
What do you enjoy baking and/or cooking? Are there local dishes or ingredients you especially like? How did you learn what you know about cooking?
Please take some time to explore all of the site (articles, blogs, etc.) and enjoy it all. We hope to see you again soon.
Regards,
Mezzaluna
