Min duration 30 min.
Cost Low
Environment Indoor

Prepare meals from scratch, experimenting with new recipes, seasonal ingredients, and cooking techniques — a hands-on, creative hobby that fills your home with delicious aromas and satisfying results.

The Essentials

  • Read the full recipe once before starting, so you're not caught off guard by a step requiring advance prep
  • Prep and measure all ingredients before turning on the heat (mise en place) — it prevents burning while you scramble to chop
  • Taste as you go and adjust seasoning gradually, since it's easy to add more salt but impossible to remove it
  • Keep a fire extinguisher or box of baking soda nearby for grease fires, and never use water to put one out
  • Learn a handful of base techniques (sautéing, roasting, braising) well rather than following many recipes shallowly

Printmaking

Printmaking

Carve a linoblock, screen a stencil, or etch a metal plate and roll ink across it to print multiple original artworks — printmaking is a democratic art form where the matrix can produce an edition of identical images, each one still a handmade original.
