"newbie cooks" news and stories

Foul Language Watch: These guys go all-out Gordon Ramsay, so that includes the F-bomb.

When you're used to cooking, even more complex recipes can seem simple. Cooking common sense isn't really an innate human feature -- it's something we learn through experience and exposure. I knew that to be true, but I never realized the extent until I watched Kamikaze Cookery: Normal Person vs ... Gordon Ramsay.

Two British self-proclaimed geeks try to make Gordon Ramsay's Brussels Sprout Souffle. While the accents might be slick, the techniques ... aren't. We're talking super-hard "paste," backlash against the word "ramekin," and more newbie cooking hi-jinx.

If you're an old pro, this should be amusing, and if you're new to the world of cookery, you just might learn something!
