I also decided to create a section called Cooking 101  . I know how frustrating it is to make a dish only to fail despite all your efforts – makes you want to just go get takeout doesn’t it? So, this category will feature a range of  simple, fail-proof baking and cooking recipes for all the beginners out there. These recipes are those that I have used time and time again.
