I created The Wooden Spoon so that people could gain confidence, have fun, and make delicious food in the kitchen.
Not in an i's-dotted t's-crossed kind of way, but with the aspiration of empowering a generation of people who grew up with microwave, Micky-D's and "quik-cook" dinners to grab their skillet, throw some food into it, and in a skills- and concept-driven way, make dinner.
To me, bragging about not cooking was like bragging about not bathing - it's just something you do to take care of yourself, your health and your body, and those you love. It's a ceremony; it's a part of life. It's undeniable.
I mean, really. How many of us would stand around and brag about the fact that we don't bathe?
Commitment to Learning
You could teach yourself how to cook. Or you could invite a chef over, and let us focus on developing a well-rounded culinary skill set while you focus on learning. Unlike working with a ski instructor or a tennis pro, learning to cook means gaining skills that you use every time you buy groceries, choose from a restaurant menu, or bake a pie. Cooking skills makes every day tastier.
Eat like you mean it!
