How to Cook Your Way out of a Wet Paper Bag

Many of today's young adults who are striking out on their own may find themselves becoming reliant on many of the food delivery services available. Eating takeout regularly can end up becoming a financial strain on already tight finances though. Preparing food in your own kitchen can not only be a money-saver, it can also be a great way to eat healthy and gain some confidence. Life gets busy and trying to find your way around a kitchen in the early days can be daunting and time-consuming. The intent of this book is to take away a bit of the mystery involved with getting comfortable in your own kitchen. I moved into my first apartment when I was nineteen years old and have been cooking most of my own food ever since. In this book I share the tips and techniques that I have gleaned from my experiences as a home cook. There are recipes that will encourage young adults to put their hand to creating a basic meal for themselves and for others and save money while doing so. The important lesson to learn here is that cooking is a journey that will consist of lots of detours and wrong turns but there will also be so many great discoveries along the way. Bon appetit!
