Thank you for checking out the very first episode of The Kitchen Counter podcast! Here is an outline of what we talked about in this episode:

Greeting & Thank You!
What to expect from the podcast
About the podcast:

  • What’s behind the name?
  • Cooking and eating
  • Kitchen tools and food product reviews
  • Tips and “hacks” for cooking (I would love to hear from you about the tricks you use in the kitchen!)
  • Recipes
  • News of interest to home cooks

About me:

  • Not a pro cook, but I love to cook and have been home cooking for 20+ years
  • Love food, and the memories and way it helps build relationships with others around food
  • I’m not a food/ingredient snob. I believe we need to be flexible when it comes to making home cooking work for us
    • For example, I’d rather you use chicken stock out of a box than ditch the home-cooked meal altogether because you couldn’t make stock yourself
    • I’d rather you use beans out of a can than ditch the whole meal because you didn’t have time to soak beans

Why listen?

  • I want to help you get in the kitchen and start cooking! I’ll help you take the steps to grow your skills and confidence
  • We’ll have fun and learn lots of new stuff together
  • You can help the community by sharing your stories from the kitchen

Reasons to cook at home:

  • Have a healthier lifestyle
  • Save money
  • Be fulfilled
  • Have fun

Barriers and Roadblocks that prevent people from cooking at home:

  • You have to have a lot of time to cook at home
  • You need a fantastic kitchen with lots of great equipment and appliances to make delicious food
  • You have to have talent to cook (a.k.a. “I can burn water” syndrome)
  • You don’t have anyone to cook for
