Sounds reasonable, something I have not considered. But cooking, cooking
well is still a learning curve fro me.

I notice you hang out in rec.food.cooking where there are some woeful food
discussions and some people who haven't got the first clue about how to cook
but it's always good for a laugh.

Same as here with some who like to imply they're farmers.

Cooking isn't rocket science and is a lot like gardening.

Obviously for you horticulture and botany are not sciences.

Take yourself to the local library and borrow a good basic cookery book

Cooking from a book is like paint by numbers is art. Believe it or
not the worlds best cooks are totally illiterate... very few of the
cooks working in the finast restaurants graduated high school, and
most can't read or write a lick. Most highly skilled occupations
don't require one know how to read, that's why a skilled carpenter
only needs a blueprint to build a house... skilled machinists don't
need to know how to read, they build jet engines by refering to a
picture. I'd no more want someone cooking my dinner by following a
recipe than undergo surgery by someone refering to an instruction
manual. You're no more a farmer than a burger flipper is a cook. It's
easy to ascertain from reading Farm1's posts that he barely possesses
the literacy level of a 4th grader, and even though he is a functional
illiterate he has demonstrated no innate talents whatsoever.

Great cooks are born with the talent, it cannot be learned. Liberace
was not only one of the world's most renowned pianists he was also a
very accomplished cook, both innate talents, achieved both with no
formal education.
