"My culinary adventures began a little over 2 years ago. What’s that old adage the way to a man’s heart is through his esophagus? Well after serving him dry chicken and practically choking him it became apparent I needed to learn how to cook. Ina, Sunny, Pat, and the gang quickly became my refuge. First I would watch their shows and then look up the recipe online. Then it was off to the grocery store with my grocery list. Did you know it’s not just about the ingredients it’s about the process as well? So after trial and error of dumping it into the pot I finally read the directions. I, lacking patience said there has to be a better way. Pausing videos, reading instructions, where are the pictures? Enter Cornbread and Molasses" - Chef Saidah
