Cooking and Nutrition Counseling with Amy Lawson

I first met Rachel when I noticed her social media posts for a new kitchen store in town (Muskegon, Michigan) and had to stop by the store! They had a teaching space and I knew this was where I was meant to bring my love of teaching cooking to. Rachel Cramblet is the social media manager for Kooi Housewares and she brings SO much more to the table. We get into some specifics on products, how to be in the know with the most up to date sales (hello, holidays are coming!) and what some of her favorite kitchen gadgets are.

I've been teaching people how to cook for over 10 years and one thing I've noticed is that we often forget to teach the first and most important step...reading recipes. As beginner home cooks, navigating and interpreting cooking instructions, adjusting and making substitutions if necessary are vital skills in the kitchen. In this episode, I’ll outline all of the things to consider when reading a recipe and interpreting the directions, ingredients, etc.  Subscribe to the Youtube Channel  @thekitcheninvitation  For more in depth details read the full blog post below https://thekitcheninvitation.com/how-to-read-a-recipe-plus-a-pdf-guide/ Grab my FREE guide to Learn how to cook easy meals for your family: https://the-kitchen-invitation.ck.page/e095d485c6  Ready to learn how to cook for yourself and your family?
