I think horror movies make for great date nights and I test new recipes on my friends under the guise of "Hey, want to come for dinner? I'm cooking."

Why am i writing?
I created Suit and Apron to help people tackle one of the most daunting spaces in the modern era - the kitchen. College trains you to be a smarter, more informed, and worldly leader, but more often than not leaves its students with little to no practical skills on one of the most basic human skills - how to cook. I want people, not just young professionals or recent graduates, but people in all stages of their life who are ready and willing to start using their kitchens, to use Suit and Apron as a resource to help guide them through equipping their space, learning key basic skills, and try out cooking for the first or umpteenth time.
I try to present only key, useful information in easy to understand language (with occasional snarkiness and humor tossed in) so readers like you don't have to feel intimidated by the advice of snobby chefs and heavy handed technical jargon. People are already overwhelmed and overworked and cooking should not feel like a chore. It should be relaxing, fun, and a way to escape from the world of work, suits, spreadsheets, and meetings, and allow you to unwind and reap the benefits of a delicious and well crafted meal at the end. Am I going to promise you that just by reading and following my articles that you will suddenly become the next Bobby Flay or Martha Stewart? Heck no. You are going to burn things, accidentally cut yourself, and make some nasty stuff while trying to learn. But what I can promise you is that if you practice and take some of the suggestions you read here to heart, you will be a more skilled and well fed human than you ever were before.
