Second glances and taking chances.

Open a cookbook, flip casually until you come to a recipe that catches your eye. Read that recipe top to bottom.

Good. Now read it again. Slowly.

Why twice? Always read the recipe twice before committing to cooking. The second read will help you understand a recipe is more than just a list of ingredients and instructions. Its the nuances that make a recipe a success. That second read gives you that confidence to try something new…and ensures you have everything you need before you get started. Give a recipe that seemed too daunting to try a second glance, and give it a chance. Let this be the year you try things you never dared tackle before.
