"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well."

I find it hard to make myself cook, for so many reasons. It can be challenging for one with limited time and limited funds. However, with the right arsenal I believe anyone can be a good cook. Like most things in life, it just takes time and effort.


When I was living at home, I never learned how to cook things beyond the basics; I can make mean spaghetti and my chocolate chip pie is amazing. I greatly regret not learning more from my mother, because there are not many people who can cook better than her. She can look at her pantry and just whip up something without a recipe, which is amazing to me.


So in an effort to domesticate myself a little more, I am going to commit to cooking two meals a week. Below are some of the cookbooks I have selected for this project, however, I will be using many, many other sources. If you already have an idea of what to cook, the internet is a great place to go for quick ideas.
