Newbie in the kitchen

[kitchen_muse]

Hi! My name is Diana.
Wanted to say thank you for letting me join and learn from you 😃
I've been stalking around for a while, and finally decided to sign up. Not a professional (at all), more like an amateur, but I found your forum quite interesting.

Welcome @kitchen_muse! It's always nice to see lurkers come forward from the shadows. What sort of cookery do you like to do? Do you cook for yourself alone, or for others also? Or are you an eater but not a cooker? 

 

Since you've been lurking, you probably already have a good idea where to find - or post - things. If not, feel free to contact a host (I am one). Come on in and join the fun!

Welcome, Diana!  Looking forward to your input!

Thanks for your warm welcoming, Smithy and Kim! 
I like to work with meat (I'm a carnivore at heart). Another passion of mine is baking, but I'm afraid that I haven't inherited my mother's talent.
And mostly I cook alone. It might be sad, though I'm pretty happy that the kitchen is all mine and I can do whatever I want (following instructions, of course!). Yes, I'm an eater but isn't it a good reason to start cooking?

Here I cook and dine alone.  You can always share your success and failure on eGullet, and find good company.

My domestic streak - most pronounced in cookery - developed when I was living alone. No need for sadness or apologies!
