My motivation to create this came from a recent revelation that one of the most important things in my life I know almost nothing about. Food is something that is required to live, we (hopefully) eat something everyday and yet the knowledge most of us have is very little. I am starting a quest to learn more about the food I eat, and more importantly how to cook well, and maybe eat a little healthier along the way.
I have recently purchased a copy of "Modernist Cuisine". And intend to both read and experiment with as many of the recipes as I can. Any previous knowledge of food was just word of mouth and through a number of failed experiences.
As for my eating credentials, well that's another story. Even though I have not been formally educated on any thing related to food I know what I like and more importantly even if I don't enjoy the food I have learned to understand a little bit about what I am eating.
