I share my experiences as I cook through all the recipes in Simply in Season. Through this process I hope to discover simple ways of preparing local, healthy foods and learn more about nutrition, sustainability, and how our eating choices impact the world. I’m not professionally trained, although I have taken a few classes here and there. I didn’t grow up cooking. I also don’t know all there is to know about ethical/sustainable/organic food, but I’m interested in learning. So while I don’t have all the answers, I hope you’ll join me in this learning adventure. The good news is that if I can do this, anyone can! My husband (DH) loves that I’m cooking more, although he is a great cook himself, and often gives me lots of great ideas for improving the recipe once I’ve made it once or twice. It DOES take effort to cook this much. But the blog has made it fun, and I’m learning tricks to make things go faster (like planning and shopping ahead, for example, or doing the prepwork for a few recipes at once).
