Good Cook

Authored by Oswaldo Blackburn

I’m not a good cook and I never have been but when I moved to Seattle I decided to learn because there are so many great farmers markets here and there’s also a lot of really good fresh seafood. So anyway, I started taking classes at a local culinary school and I actually even got some Seattle TV packagesthat included the Food Network and the Cooking Channelso I could learn from all the famous chefs and that’s actually helped a lot. Now I feel like I sort of know what I’m doing when I go to the market and pick out some produce and the thing I can tell you that I’ve definitely learned is that the less you do to your item, the better it’s going to be. I like simple preparations not only because I think it tastes better but because it’s easier, too, and if there’s one thing about cooking I don’t really like it’s how much effort it takes! I don’t want to be in the kitchen all day!
