It is a dream of mine to be crafty in the kitchen. I can cook just enough to be able to say that I can. But I would like to be one of those women that can just whip up anything without needing instructions. And cool stuff, not just chicken or spaghetti. That is why I was so excited when I was sent these fun books.
I mean, how cool would it be to be able to whip up my own jam and candy?! I declare this my summer of cooking. I shall keep you posted on my summer cooking triumphs...and disasters.
