Hello Friends, Welcome to The Talking Apron. This episode covers the essential skills needed to be a home cook. Yes of course included is knife skills, but those are developed over time. Other skills needed are kitchen organizing for time management in meal prep, creating a weekly healthy eating plan, and rounding out the podcast will be the topic of Ingredient knowledge. Knowing why you are using certain vegetables or proteins and why they needed to be cooked a certain way is important. I'll end the episode with a few cooking terms, so when you are reading recipes, you will know exactly what the recipe needs for heating type. This overview is meant for you to assess where your skills are, so you can focus attention on the areas that you want to learn to be better. Want a little help?
