Your Old Man Cooks is a combination of thoughts, tips, recipes, and utilities to help you cook. There are chapters that you can follow sequentially, as if you are reading a book, or not. Feel free to rummage about, comment, copy, suggest, opine. Just type in a word into the search function and you will see what comes up. Like much of cooking, or indeed life, I am pretty much making it up as I go along, so join me.Eating is one of those things in life, along with s****ing and sleeping, that you know you are going to be doing up until the day you pack it in, so don't be in a hurry to become a good cook. Take a little bit of knowledge here and a little bit there. Sample the goods. Go away. Come back. Try something new. Fail. Realise that every day is going to be a little different, every ingredient going to behave a little bit differently than the last time you tried. Don't follow recipes other than as a general guide. Learn how to do, not how to follow. Most of all, have fun, and learn. Cooking is one of the few things in life that you get to enjoy the benefits the very second you finish. It will, quite literally, keep you alive in more ways than one.
