"This is my invariable advice to people: learn how to cook--try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun!"

Goodbye for now...

Hello friends. This post concludes my blog for the time being, I am hoping this summer I might be able to make some of the recipes I have neglected throughout the course of the semester, for example Root beer. I know I may not be the best cook in the world, but how will I get better if I do not practice and make mistakes? According to Julia Child I should be fearless in the kitchen and I plan to be. Throughout this project, I discovered just how intertwined history and food are. Before, I never viewed history through the lens of the food, I always viewed it through the people, and it is surprising what a simple change in perspective can do to my perception of history. If this food history interests you, I recommend the book An Edible History of Humanity by Tom Standage. Good luck in your future cooking pursuits and I hope you enjoyed my blog.
