Featuring all posts related to basics of cooking from cutting fruits and vegetables to baking a cake or cookie.
Cooking is not rocket science. But if you don't like it, then it's harder than rocket science. We all learn what we want to learn, what we love and what we really want to do. Anything learned out of compulsion or force doesn't stick with you for long. So, if you really love cooking and want to start, then you've come to the right place. :-) I've compiled a list of posts related to basics of cooking here. Whether you want to learn how to cut a fruit or want to know how to plan a menu or you want to know the science behind all that cooking, you will find here.
keep checking for updates. I've only just started this series. :-)
