I’m Jess(ica). I love to cook. It’s one of the only things that I could do every single day for the rest of my life and never have to get paid. It makes me happy. It relaxes me. It’s just the best. I read cookbooks like they’re the latest Harry Potter novel and collect ‘em by the stacks. Given the choice of what to watch on tv, there’s a 99% chance it will be something on The Food Network or Cooking Channel. Pinterest? Yeah, it’s really just an excuse for me to dig up new recipes and stare at pictures of food porn. A week without cooking something (anything at all) is a crummy week.

This blog is my way of sharing what I love to do for free with all of you, and maybe even helping some of you get better at this incredibly awesome sport of cooking. With enough practice, work and dedication, anyone can do it.  You, me, all of us: we’re all Cook-letes or Cook-letes in the making.

So, get off the bench and let’s get in the game!
