I know many people who, when starting on their cooking journey, reach out for something like Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking or The Escoffier out of the gate.  Often, they end up frustrated, on the couch ordering Door Dash after spending a zillion dollars on copper pans and Cornish hens.

Learning about this way of eating has helped me break out of the “roasted chicken and veg” rut and introduced new spices and flavors I now can not live without!
