Hello everyone
This looks like a great site and everyone is very friendly, I'm not much of a cook but it's a nice skill to develop so I will probably do more reading than posting.
So thanks Jabob, looks like I'm the first in a while to post, David
It seems this forum hasn't had much activity in awhile, but here's to finding you all in good spirits!
My boyfriend found this website for me just today. He bought me a cast iron cooking set for Christmas and really wanted to get me jump started on my creations. We both love research, he just beat me to it!
Hello everyone. I am from Beaver County PA, just north of the Pittsburgh area. I only just found this site from a bread video I happened upon. I have been cooking most of my life (started at 6!), But I just got back into baking bread and I am now re-addicted. Things have changed dramatically though and I have found a lot of new info about techniques. I can honestly say that the Stella video about Bakers Ratios has helped me more than any other video or book (I now own 6 bread books and most are semi worthless for getting "why" questions answered). I am hoping that I can get some why a
MadMadamM here, just joined, as the result of a search to review some information on Mother Sauces. Thank you for your concept, as this is also how I like to teach, cook, and share. I also went through a culinary program in an effort to understand why, how, and what, so I hope to learn more here, and maybe get a chance to share a thing or two myself.
I humbly come before you capable of following a recipe, but fall short on efficient prep technique and presentation. I will be a sponge for some time, and appreciate the information found here.
Hi everyone, my name is Mark. When I retired (though I'm working again) I got into baking and bread is one of my favorite things to bake. I found Chef Jacob's podcasts years ago and loved his style and learned a lot. Now I've come back and wow this site is great. I'm sure to learn a lot more. Thank you Chef Jacob for all you put into this site.
Hello!
My name is Melanie and I am a married woman from Manchester, NH. I have a 20 year old daughter who also enjoys cooking as well.
I'm Carrie, from the Chicago area, and love this site. I'm a home cook who's considering going to culinary school as a middle age change of pace. Kids getting older and considering what I want to do with the rest of my life. I'm here just for fun right now though, and to learn everything I can. Great to be here!
It really started when I was looking for some information on youtube about dry aging beef. That's where I found the video series on butchery from Jacob Burton. After devouring that series, I found the Stella Culinary website and this fantastic resource. Thanks Chef for sharing your knowledge with someone who now considers themselves as someone who cooks with passion, while attempting to use your professional techniques.
As you have guest I'm Canadian hailing from the Greater Ottawa Area, your videos and Ipod lectures will be a great help to me and my somewhat questionable culinary skills, looking forward to trying out your recipes and I am sure I can adapt them for the wild game and edibles in my area.
