Most recipes don't fail because you "can't cook." They fail because no one ever taught you how to read them first. Before you turn on the stove, there are clues baked right into the recipe that tell you how smooth or stressful the process will be. Things like hidden prep work, timing overlaps, and steps that assume you already know what's coming next. This episode is about slowing down for two minutes so you don't end up overwhelmed halfway through. Cooking gets so much easier when you know what the recipe is actually asking of you before you start. This is exactly what Good Taste 101 is about. Teaching the foundational things recipes assume you already know, in a way that's clear, judgment free, and confidence building. Save this for the next time you cook something new. #GoodTaste101 #HowToReadARecipe #BeginnerCookingTips #KitchenSkillsForBeginners #CookingConfidence
