Hello Kyle, welcome to Cheftalk!
Our membership is broad, both in terms of geography (I'm Scots, for instance) and in terms of culinary ability - from those just starting out to master chefs, and all stages in between.
Feel free to join in on any thread you find of interest, or start your own in the relevant forum. The wikis, blogs, articles, reviews and photography on the site are all well worh spending time to view.
Hope to see you around the boards!
