I really love this thoughtful and kind post. I’m looking for all the kindness I can find these days. And I plan to cook my way for people I love to get through the hurt and uncertainty.

This is very relatable as a cook with some memorable failures. I’m glad my family offers gentle and thoughtful critiques and sometimes rave reviews.

Really enjoyed this post, as well. Such mature advice and one I can certainly rely on as my own younger children tackle learning their own skills and needing to be championed as they do. Questions and curiosity really do go a long way in confidence building…

I loved this advice. Most talented cooks I know have their stories of epic fails and sometimes quite funny "learning experiences" of truly awful meals, and it's a good thing they didn't get discouraged along the way.
