This is one of the real secrets, you need to have pleasure in cooking as much as savouring if you want to be a good cook...

French cooking

Use good tools
You will need certain basic tools which are essential. Choose the good ones, it is important.


Take advice
In Web sites, in books, in conversations...Let your imagination work and get
ready for new ideas...


Chose ingredients with care
Always choose good and fresh ingredients, they will do half of the job for you (and you cannot do good things without them).


1 - Often practice

Like a language or sports, you need to practice cooking if you want to progress...you will discover many things by yourself and start creating...Feel free to change proportions or replace ingredients of a recipe...


2 - Taste & adjust
Taste your preparations as often as you can, even before cooking ; you will learn a lot from it and you will be able to adjust the flavor if something is missing ; this might be too late after cooking.


3 - Learn your own style
In practicing you will determine your favorite flavors, and you will understand that a recipe is just an idea, only big outlines which you have to adapt to your own taste & style.
