Cookery

You can't learn to cook (well not easily) from a book or a website, you need a tutor and a kitchen, and some people to give you feedback on your cooking. Even recipes need experience (just what is a "medium onion"?) to make them work. Where our recipes are measurement critical this is noted, otherwise minor variations should not spoil your food. So cooking is as much art and experience as it is technology and science.

However, some data and instructions on basic techniques can be very helpful.

Ovens vary but you only need guidance to get you going, experience will give you the fine tuning.

Equipment

We don't have any posh stuff. Just a couple of Le Creuset heavy pans, a wok, a frying pan, two or three saucepans, a garlic crusher, a corkscrew, a potato masher and a rolling pin. Plus a few spatulas.
We do have a food blender (getting on a bit now, and an ancient microwave), but most recipes are quite "manual".
