9 Invaluable Cooking Resources to Make You a Suppertime Superstar

September 6, 2016 By Lisa Mullen 1 Comment

When I first got married, I knew next to nothing about cooking. I had barely cooked in the 22 years before I met Levon. However, I knew he was looking for a wife who could cook, so I threw myself into learning everything I could in a very short amount of time. And I scoured all the cooking resources that I could get my hands on.

In the process, I learned that I actually really like to cook! But I had SO much to learn. It was embarrassing how little I knew. I mean, I had to look up how to boil eggs, that’s how ignorant I was in the culinary arts. I couldn’t do anything in the kitchen without a recipe, and even simple steps required a visit to my good friend Google. After awhile, I got tired of looking up the same things over and over, so I looked for handy charts and tables that I could keep close at hand.

To help other women who might be in the same boat I was, or who just want to increase their repertoire of cooking techniques, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite cooking resources. In the 6 years that I’ve been married now, I’ve grown far beyond googling how to boil eggs, but I still refer to some of these guides on a regular basis. They’re just so handy! I especially love #4. It is full of cooking how-to’s that run the gamut from the most basic of basics to obscure cooking techniques that you only see on Iron Chef! 🙂

Even if you’re already a master chef, keep this list of cooking resources to share with friends, relatives, coworkers, etc. Share it with a new bride you know – it would be a welcome gift, trust me!

So here it is, nine of my favorite websites to help you master cooking basics!
