Experiments in cooking

I have decided to undertake learning how to cook. I don't necessarily mean techniques, because I can figure those out. What I'm talking about is the art of taking some random ingredients and producing something wonderful for the body and soul. And it's not about trying new recipes either, as I can do that easily. I want to learn the creative aspect of cooking, that skill of being able to pull stuff from the pantry or fridge and KNOW that you can make something with them. My husband has this skill somewhat, but despite my Home-Ec teacher of a mother, I am extremely intimidated by the kitchen. Or rather, but figuring out "What's for dinner?" Now, I can bake like the dickens, but COOKING is a whole other story.

Here I'll document my successes and failures. Sometimes I'll be trying a new recipe, or maybe I'll be throwing something together "From scratch", but either way my goal will be to use as little in the way of processed ingredients as possible.

I'd be happy to hear from anyone else trying their own cooking experiments.
