“I was thirty-two when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate.”
– Julia Child –

If you’ve read my blog for some time you probably know that I’m no cook. The past ten years I’ve basically subsisted on snack food, green smoothies, and Seamless. Because dining out in Copenhagen is so expensive (think $25-$30 for your average burger, yikes…) and bikini season is just around the corner, I’ve decided it’s time to put down the Danish pastries and learn how to cook. Now the question is, where to start? Do you have a delicious foolproof meal on rotation? What’s your favorite way to cook chicken? How about salmon? Any food blogs I simply must read? Simon and I love all food so as long as it’s simple (think “cooking for dummies”), yummy, and relatively healthy, I’m willing to try. This afternoon I may go really wild and invest in some measuring spoons and a measuring cup (I hear they’re useful…). Can’t wait to read your suggestions!
