Well hello there. For those of you that don't know me, I'm Kalla and I love food. I love food in a way that is a little bit frightening to some. I am a foodie. I take food, shopping for food, preparing food, and eating food very seriously. There's just one little problem. My mother didn't really teach me to cook.
It's not that my mom is a bad cook, it's just that she worked full time when I was a kid and didn't have the time or energy to cook. It just wasn't a priority for her. So I've had to learn from watching cooking shows, obsessively reading cookbooks and books on food, and taking the occasional class. And I've become a decent cook. I can make just about any recipe you put in front of me, but I don't really know the secrets - how to freeze leftovers, how to stretch a recipe when you don't have quite enough of an ingredient, how to substitute, that sort of thing.
This blog will be about my journey in learning how to cook and eat properly without years of maternal guidance.
