What is SkilPad Cooks’ Philosophy?
Everyone can learn to
be a good cook.
Be adventurous and willing to try almost anything ...
and ensure you’re able to forgive yourself the occasional result that does not live up to hopes or expectations. Every good cook needs to do this.
It takes interest, well-chosen ingredients, time, practice, and good basic tools.
