Growing up in a family that didn’t cook, knew little of foods others cooked, the author of Adventures in Cooking decided to learn to cook. Determined from her youth to cook for her family once she got married, Debbie set out to know the right way to cook. Along the way, there were some disappointments, yet she never gave up on her dream to learn how to cook.
How about you? Has your cooking changed your life yet for the better? Do people rave about even the simplest of meals you prepare? Are you relaxed and confident about cooking for a group? If you’re overcome with self-doubt, then Debbie’s journey from “can’t even boil water” to the accomplished cook she is today is the book for you. Her story reassures and inspires others to become self-reliant when it comes to cooking.
Debbie learned to cook using the “self-taught cookbook” method because no one in her family actually “cooked” when she was growing up. Determined to cook independently, she pushed herself through recipes, cooking failures, and even a tiny kitchen fire. Some years ago, someone suggested that she write about her cooking adventures, so “Adventures in Cooking” was written and published.
