Cooking used to be a skill we learned by watching our moms cook.  Today, finding time to cook good food can be a challenge and many of us do not have basic cooking skills.  This group is for great cooks, new cooks, and people afraid to turn on the stove.  Let's get together to learn new techniques (sauteing, smoking), the versatility of different ingredients (eggs, pork), the complexity of world cuisines (Thai, Greek), and the fun of cooking together.  In addition, let's collect our family recipes before they're lost forever, and recreate them.  Learn that good food is not difficult to make if you cook by your wits.
