By no stretch of the imagination am I an authority on food or cooking. I am neither an expert nor a professional (I’m saving my armature status for the Cooking Olympics in 2010), but I am learning. Most of my knowledge is derived from Internet searches and hands-on experience, which is constantly growing. Almost every recipe on Jenn’s Cook Book is a recipe that I have tried myself in my own kitchen, and I try to add my own tips and suggestions as I go.
I started cooking about a year ago, mostly because I was bored with dining out and wanted to make something tasty without fighting traffic and spending tons of money. In the process, I have learned how rewarding a good meal can be when it’s made at home with a little bit of love. I enjoy cooking for others very much, and I try to share my food with folks as often as possible.
Most of the time, I still need a recipe and I can’t eyeball ingredients, but I am good at following directions. Every recipe might not work the way it’s suppose to, but I will do my best to make it interesting!
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed your visit to Jenn’s Cook Book.
