My Name is Cynthia

Hello everyone! My name is Cynthia. I feel I may be a little out of my league here. I'm a fairly new home cook. I've been "cooking" for years, but it wasn't until this past year that I really started to experiment and explore the art of cooking. Many of the things on here are not familiar to me. I guess you would still consider me a very basic cook. I have some odd food allergies, so recipes can be a challenge for me.

For people that have never cooked like this it certainly can be intimidating but, please don't let it....you will love the things you can do the different temps you can cook salmon changes texture, flavor and appearance with the same piece of fish...

Thanks. I have been trying different techniques that are "new" to me. I recently found the love for cooking with cast iron! Luckily for me my husband loves to try new things and supports me in my culinary journey. I'm a big fan of Master Chef (especially the Junior version--those kids amaze me). That is what really peaked my interest into diving more into the culinary world. I love spices and experimenting with them. I just haven't had much exposure to things due to my food allergies and fear of stepping off the ledge. I hope to learn new things here and gain knowledge from others. I work full-time in a technology department. Photography is my hobby and passion, but it is quickly becoming in competition with cooking. Baking and frying are still a struggle for me. I welcome any advice!

Cynthia please don't feel you are out of your league. I am new to modernist cooking so we all have things to learn. When you have questions please ask, someone here can usually help.

The majority of us are home cooks so you are in good company. Feeling like a new home cook or like a beginner is also common (I'm definitely in that boat). You'll have more questions than answers and that is a great thing. We will all help and hope you'll contribute and help us as well.

I agree with Todd. Although I have had some training I am just a beginner when it comes to a lot of the techniques here. I have learned more here than with all of my previous classes. @Todd_Shewman_38102 is very humble. He really creates amazing food.
