Quickly, look through the list of suggested/essential kitchen pots, pans, appliances and more. Do you see things you already have or don’t have, but should get? Go ahead and start acquiring what you need to make some recipes from my cookbook. I buy a lot of my supplies on Amazon.com or at Walmart, Target, Asian market stores, TJ Maxx, Ross, Dollar Stores, etc. Shopping around is key!

The best way to learn how to make much of what I have to share inside my cookbook is to watch my videos for a particular dish or beverage. My cooking videos can be found here:

Each recipe actually serves as a list of ingredients to get/use and the steps to make my recipes . While many of us learn best by watching, having a written list of what to buy, get, use, and what order you make something in is also handy. If you find something you like, read through the recipe, gather up the ingredients and/or any kitchen equipment needed, then watch the video on how to make it!

Practice makes perfect. If at first you don’t succeed, which you will, try again. It took me several attempts to perfect what you see inside my cookbook. But, not to worry, this isn’t rocket science. Many of these recipes really are pretty straight forward. All you have to do is tweak a little something here or there to your liking and you’re set. “Bart appétit!”
