When YayYay set up housekeeping, she wasn’t all that interested in cooking and baking, She wishes she had taken time to learn from her mother and others in her small circle of experienced home cooks. She did have two involuntary, as in forced with much whining and disgruntlement, high school semesters of Home Ec kitchen craft under her homemade apron strings, a Good Housekeeping Cookbook, and a few years cooking and grocery shopping experience before marriage. These cooking and baking 101 tutorials, tips and tricks for the beginner home cook are lessons YayYay learned along the way and wishes someone had taught her a whole lot sooner.
