#117 Cooking Skills You Should Master - New Series!

 Today we're going to be starting a series on basic cooking skills that we should all master. We’re going to do a number of episodes on this, and today I'm going to give you a bit of an introduction to what kind of things we’re going to talk about. It's easy to feel nervous when attempting new things in the kitchen - new proteins or vegetables you haven't cooked before, new cooking methods, or using kitchen tools for the first time, like a slow cooker or air fryer. Actually, though, a lot of these things are not as scary or intimidating as they seem.  It's a good idea to have a bit of extra time on your hands when you’re practicing new cooking skills. Then you're not learning a new skill in the rushed stress of the day's cooking, but rather doing it at a time where it doesn't matter if it goes wrong. That way, there's less pressure on you, but the skills will help you when you do want to cook with them.
