What's Cooking?
To say I am a bad cook is an understatement. I've been kicked out of a dozen kitchens so far. Dad was the cook in our family - he was an army cook, so he knew how to get food out fast, efficiently, and with minimal fuss. There was no time to teach his kid, Mom was coming home soon and needed food. Mom was the teacher, but also not a great cook, and no time to learn, when there was teaching to do and papers to grade. So I was shoved to the side, with my curious questions and habit of being in exactly the wrong place when he was holding a heavy pot.

An Introduction to White Trash Cooking
In the Mojave desert, my father is spreading warm peanut butter on a slice of wonderbread. It is our first solo camping trip since the divorce, and he is attempting to make things seem as normal as possible. He slathers grape jelly on another slice of bread, winking at me.

Losing my Kimchi Virginity
They would gear up like this about twice a year - in the early part of autumns and springs. All manner of pails and tubs would be unearthed from the recesses of the house and brought together, including the standard 5-gallon bucket from the hardware store. My mother and grandmother are preparing for kimjang, a communal kimchi making session, continuing a tradition from the land from which we are born. There are a couple bushels of napa cabbage to preserve. My earliest memories are vague at best, but I can quickly conjure a feeling, the essence of a formless yet formative memory when the first waft of the kimchi filling hits my nose. For those who have been displaced, torn from their roots, food is the part of the culture we hang onto with the ferocity of a lioness protecting her cub. After all, we are what we eat.

Cooking classy meals at home
It's easy to get a craving for something. You see a picture or somebody walking by with an ice cream cone and in a second your craving kicks in, but what do you do about it? Do you give in and take the easy way and buy what you crave for a minor amount of seratonin? Or do you go out of your way to learn how to make it so the next time you crave it you can save the money and make it at home?

Making Rock Candy
What is rock candy exactly? In a nutshell, rock candy is the product resulting from the recrystallization of pure cane sugar. It is the purest form of sugar as all impurities have been excluded during the process as the large crystals form. This crystallization is specific to sugar chemistry and cannot be replicated with the various sugar free substitutes available. It is PURE sugar!

Everything I Own Is Covered in Flour
I may as well as face it at this point. Every single thing I own is, or soon will be, covered in flour. I've never been the neatest when it comes to the kitchen. If I were a contestant on Great British Bake Off, I'd be the famously messy Laura.
